  1. I think this is absolutely stupid. Players are bigger faster and stronger than ever, it's not ALL the golf ball. Distance is a major focus with every piece of golf equipment and with every tour pro. Golf is still the hardest sport on the planet, even if every player is capable say of hitting a certain par 4 off the tee, well they still have to hit that shot that gets on the green. Just make the shorter holes part of the game, make holes harder in other ways with clever course design. I think you're ripping the sport apart once you have bifrication of rules on use of equipment. The only other sport that does something similar is in baseball with the bats, but theres also other reasons for that like a wooden bat breaking and hurting a kid or something, but also does have to do with how far you can hit a metal bat, its just easier for little kids, but they still had to hit the ball, just like golf where it doenst matter what equipment you have, you still have to hit that shot.
