I'm not good with the technical reasons for this, but tv's aren't known for having a good view in windows. Refresh rate or something i guess.

Make sure that you don't have the resolution in Golden Tee PC cranked up too high. You should set it at 640x480 for running on a TV - this will make the text appear larger and more readable.
