This is not a new idea. It was tried ..briefly...in the early 80's. Two holes were cut on each green, one regulation and the other about twice regulation size. (Not the size of a pizza.) You then had a choice. There was a name for the "new" game. I don't recall what it was. Only one course in our area tried it. They found it to be a maintenance headache and they gave it up after about three months.
