It is not the silver bullet to make older courses relevant again, but it definitely will help.
Hitting wedge into a par 5 isn't golf IMO. Make these guys hit 3 & 4 irons into greens. Make par actually relevant without resorting to tricked up setups à la Shinnecock.
I don't think it will be long before the pro game goes towards a spec ball for majors similar to tennis. I can't think of a compelling reason not to do this other than the OEMs losing their ####.
