Default The slope rating at Lopez has to be wrong!

I am playing over at Lopez today and in preparation for our 4ball match I was checking handicaps. To me there is an issue looking at the Ashley/Torri 18 with the slope ratings. Two of us play the gold tees and the slope rating for the gold tees is 139. The problem with that is the slope for the black tees is 137!. I verified what the card says is also what the FSGA has.

Sanity check.... the slope of a gold tee box can NEVER be higher than the slope of the black tee box when the black tees have a higher course rating, right? I will call over, but found this interesting....

Their respective ratings are Black (72.9) and Gold (70.9).

This is a big deal as if it is 134 instead of 139 my opponent gets one less stroke
