Spare me the idealistic stream of consciousness I'd compliment a politically aware eight year old with.
I'm not advocating how big a course should be. Make one 20, 000 yards if you like, just have the foresight to recognise how it might not be the most efficient of models to follow and how it isn't going to be sustainable when we all have to play that unless a) we want to use broom handles for clubs or b) we don't want to play 18 par 3s. I assume you're passed the teenage anarchist stage and recognise that regulatory bodies aren't all bad. You can either have the R&A and USGA doing the job or the marketing department at Taylormade. By all means make the break, just don't try to suggest that those of us that seek to protect classic architect are the zealots in thie piece.
Conversely, get some of those aeroflight balls and go into the garden or local park with a kid and play a few 50 to 100 yard holes. Note how much further you hit the thing but how his or her skill can still count for something. And all from the same tees. That there is golf.
