Berrima: Playing someone who out drives me by 100 yards and can stop the ball on a dime is totally contrary to the fundamental principles of golf, which uses a handicap system to allow fair play amongst players of all abilities.
I have to disagree. The game started 400-500 years before handicapping, which was developped in England in 1911 (Wikipedia).
Fundamental (and in Rule 1 of golf) is to play the ball into the hole with the least possible strokes. In the old days, Gentlemen wagered against each other, presumably in scratch scores.
In WGTland, you better see yourself as a Pro - if you are inferior to other players, you will never win any significant competition.
Like in real golf, it's still possible to have fun!
