This thread isn’t about the sticks, it is about the ball. Use any high tech/state of the art clubs you want, but use them to hit a much shorter length golf ball. The idea is to get back to where for example a 375 yard par four is maybe a driver and a long iron for three best players instead of drivable! Where a 130 yard par three is not a flip wedge, it might be a hybrid or mid iron. Obviously shorter tees on these same holes would make the course easier for higher handicap golfers just like on a regular course using today’s golf balls.
Many here keep talking about par three and shorter executive courses. I think of those as a very different species although in theory they might be an option for some for this much shorter length ball.
What I am envisioning is for example an 18-hole 4000 yard replica of say Oakmont CC that sits on roughly half the acreage, costs a fraction of what the big course costs to maintain, but still has greens rolling at 13+ (if you want), has deep bunkers, mounding, ditches, …., everything the original has but you can play for half the price and in a fraction of the time (by definition less walking or riding because less ground to cover). You would bring your same clubs that you use on the big course, just play this one with limited flight balls.
Maybe the idea is flawed but it is not really that radical and might be widely embraced if quality options (courses) existed.
If we can get 30+ million people wacking a wiffle ball around in a little rectangle - WTF 😳 I think we could get lots of golfers looking for a faster and cheaper lower cost option that still allows them to play “real golf”. And furthermore, hard core golfers might find they enjoy this as well. It is NOT chip and putt.
