Since we can only change one rule in this scenario, I would create a rule that allows for different rules for Pro vs Amateur golfers. This way the Pro golfers can continue to take stroke and distance penalties, play from divots, and keep the equipment restrictions. Thus keeping with the traditions of the game as viewed by the USGA and allowing Amateurs to focus on enjoying the game and not feeling like they are cheating by taking their ball out of a divot or dropping a ball at the closest point of relief after going OB vice heading back to the tee and slowing pace of play, etc.
