What will the call the new game? Large hole golf? It certainly can not be called golf because it isn't. Coca Cola tried changing years ago, they called it new coke, a big flop as I recall.
As far as this speeding up the game I don't see it. The game is slow here because too many people don't play ready golf, park the carts too far away, don't take enough clubs and have to walk back, lots of reasons. A 2 minute delay per hole adds almost 20 minutes per nine. Now I'm not in a hurry and most executive rounds take about just 90 minutes but when one takes 2 hours you can usually see why.
