In golf there a variety of shots possible. Each of these shots can be played with an adjusted amount of power. In this game, as well as real golf, the player selects the club, shot and amount of power.
There is no right or wrong way to present this set of metrics to each WGT player. Rather, it is for each player to make choices prior to each shot. If the caddie selects a club or shot that the player does not like; the player changes the situation.
Change the metrics, if you want, but this does not change the facts. Players will always make choices about how to play a shot prior to hitting the ball. And remember that there is only one goal in mind. Get the ball in the hole in the least number of stokes. There is nothing in the rules about how to get there.
