This debat has been going for some time now. There has been a concerned in the golf Industry for the fact that 5 million people dropped golf within the last 10 years reducing their profits. Its why tiger meant so much to them marketing for equipment clothes golf lessons for their kids, etc.
The two obstacles as the professional viewed it were money and time. As to time, most is spent around the greens and hence the 15"hole.
Recently in Greensboro, NC Taylormade sponsored an event invited some pros and show cased the 15"hole
Purist are going to hate it. I am a high handicapper but a purest and I am going to hate it. the suggestion to make golf easier is an acknowledgement to the trophy generation
The challenge to golf always was that we knew you can't beat golf and it made us try all the more.
Finally why cut 15"holes I thought that was the reason for miniature golf?
