Of course, I also see the up side to larger playground balls--you can get whacked in the head with them and not hurt as much. (Playground balls to the head will stun you for a moment, but anything that passes a FIRST inspection can't throw it hard enough to bruise or anything. Golf balls, on the other hand...)

Going with the golf balls thing, we would then ovbiously not be allowed to throw anything at all, intentionally or unintentionally, and consequentially your drive system would need to be (re-)designed to make sure that you don't kick up any golf balls when you are moving or are trying to move.
