Basically I track the average yardage of the games I played in a season. If I played 1 round from the blues at 6098 yards and one round from the whites at 5870, the average yardage I played would be 5984. It is a good check against average scores. If one player averaged 90 and an average yardage of 5600 but another averages 90 on an average course length of 6200, you could make the assumption that the second player is better.
I think that's why they invented course ratings, slopes and handicaps
your 6200 yard course could have no bunkers, no trees and be completely flat...while the 5800 yard course could be in a dense, hilly forest.
