If a 4 ball course brings in a huge crowd, I'm all for it. If the same family and friends crowd are the only ones who show, then a non regulation course is stupid! If your going to screw around I'd rather watch a "wrong foot forward" tournament, or have a 70's themed event with 70's boats, skis, wigs. Drop the speed to 34 for the men, 32 for the women and see what the pros can do. Blindfolded tournament? If the scores don't count, there's all sorts of fun tournaments to draw crowds.
