We had a course up north that did the two hole green experiment. One regulation hole and a six inch hole. I found the six inch hole fun. I am a decent golfer tee to green but mediocre putter. I quit the game once for years because of my frustration with putting. Any way the two hole did have a problem with the holes getting in the way of each other. Actually I was surprised how often it seemed to happen. As for the purist play the game as intended argument - why do we have five sets of tees? It's OK to compensate for the long game but not the short game? Another point - have you seen the difference in gimmees between sets of golfers.
