Played TPC Scottsdale Stadium from the Blacks (some tees closed)-how to score for caps purposes?

[RoyalMustang]

I played TPC Scottsdale Stadium today and we played the blacks.  However, some of the black tees were next to the blue tees, and others were only 10 yards back.  Only one "championship" tee was open (18-I hit a great 6-iron approach and made an easy par, which is humbling when you think that most pros are hitting 9-iron or PW into the green) and the course played around 7100 yards.  I shot a 77 with 34 putts (good for me) but was wondering how to score it for handicap purposes?  There is a pretty big difference between the blues and black in terms of rating and slope.   Scorecard says blacks are 74.7/142 at 7261 and blues 71.5/131 at 6614.  

 

Great course-great condition, but boy, the fairways are wide!  It seems as if a good player could tear that up outside of tournament conditions

Eh, 160 yard difference off the scorecard over 18 holes doesn't seem significant enough to really affect anything too much IMHO. 7100's still no pitch'n'putt.

I dont know, but its usually the back tees that move up, not the shorter ones moving back.

 

Modern tour courses are stupidly wide off the tee imo.

You asked for tough, reasonably priced and scenic.  How did you end up at the Stadium course?

My boss invited me!  I covered my share of the caddy tip, but the rest was on him.  I wasn't going to pass that up

 

We did Rancho Manana today.  Fun course: we got on at 3:15 and played 11 holes. Not terribly tough but very scenic and a great time

Thanks!  That is exactly what I was looking for
