So when a Villager who shoots 80 from the white tees here goes and plays the championship tees at Bethpage Black (rating about 77.5, slope 155) he can expect to shoot about 106
Biggest difference is that white tees in TV are shorter than other courses and consequently have a lower slope. How many 300 -325 yard holes are out there? A lot. Generally I(13 handicap) can expect to be 4-5 shots higher on other courses.
