At the risk of taking the troll bate, I’ve played competitive golf, albeit way below a pro level. You’ve got 5 minutes to find a lost ball. Having a gallery and tv cameras will reduce the chances of not finding a lost ball. At best that advantage might be worth a stroke a round or so.

Thus, giving me a stroke a round from avoiding lost ball penalties, might move my handicap from 9 to 8; l’m still about 10 strokes a round from beating John Rahm.
