Whatever the rules change to, it needs to be for everyone, surely. If you don't have the same rules the central conceit of amateur sports is removed.
That said, I agree with many professional golfers that the way to address the distance issue is through the clubs and course design. It's a simpler solution for the game.
The thing about golf though, is that it's one of the few sports where you're in the same stadium (venue/whatever) as the pros. As in the exact same place, not a mini stadium for amateur athletes or a random football pitch in the park, or a boxing ring in some gym. So you can feel that in most sports, you are not really like one of the big boys.
I wonder how much players care about that.
In any case, why is there this line between the ball and the clubs? Why is it better to change one but not the other?
