I am a high handicapper who understands ready golf but you take away much of the challenge and many players will lose interest.
My personal view is that making the game easier will make it more sociable and in the end defeat the goal of stepping up play.
If you designate certain courses as 6" and certain courses as 4 1/4" you will limit everyone's choices and perhaps unintentionally create a scarcity of available tee times
Finally ask yourself why did golf invent the handicap? answer to place all players on a level playing field. what else could you want? I'll bet some folks would answer self initiating drone clubs that when programed allow you to play par golf.
