This is just the third installment of the initiatives started a few years ago by the USGA. They were initially brought forward by Tom Weiskopf and have been championed recently by Jack Nicklaus. If you are a USGA member or get their communications this is not new to you. The first initiative was the play it forward idea of playing from the tee that matched your abilities. Here in TV this resulted in the yellow, forward tees on the championship courses. The second initiative was about faster play and brought about the "while we're young" commercials. This is just the third step in that USGA program.
If you have a complaint, take it to the USGA and or the R&A.
