I'm with @Canadan on the ball searching aspect. I get 3 minutes, a hope and a prayer to find a ball in long tall grass. The pros get multiple sets of eyes helping them on any given wayward shot. Maybe if the pros didn't have that help searching, they wouldn't take some of the chances they take.
Pros are playing for millions though and it’s their livelihood vs us amateurs who are not. You also run the risk of having spectators step on your ball and not know it. I don’t see the ball search being an issue.
