I think the crimes are big, for wayward shots lead to:

houses and cars off the course damaged,
people on adjacent fairways hit, and
fields held up with constant searching for balls.

Zero points hopefully will provide enough incentive for those who hit and hope to club down. At the moment they don't because they have handicap strokes to cater for it and the glory of 4-5 points is worth taking the chance.

IMO zero points is the most brilliant part of Code Two and can rescue the game from the bomb-and-gouge affair it has become. It can take the financial pressure off owning the latest driver and radically reduce ball costs.

But I do believe it will be a very tough sale. Not only will high markers dislike it (at first), club manufacturers will hate it, especially the CEO of Taylor Made who already wants the USGA & R&A removed and drops at the 'point' of OB/loss (I wonder why? ).
