The only way to do this without cheapening the game is to implement Bullseye (or similar) style baskets. No other way around it.

Maybe just for big events. Pull the regular baskets and have a set of bullseyes on hand for each course. (I have no idea who would fund said venture, but it's an idea)

To do what? If it's get the top scores close to "par", there are a number of other ways to do it, without changing the target.
Out of curiosity, which methods would "cheapen the game", and why would they cheapen it.
Standstill upshots?
We need to do what they do at Winthrop and add more mandos to force guys to throw a 200ft shot placement then open up if they wanna go for it, not throw a hyzer shot over the tee sign 400 ft and have a upshot for 400 ft to take a not too tough 3 for these guys. The power they have is unreal and force them to throw golf shots vs power shots.
Personally, I don't feel that assigning par as the score a top player is most likely to get on a hole would cheapen the game in any way.
Assuming that it matters enough to bother with, of course. I'm not convinced it does.
Why are par 2s a problem if you're adjusting things anyway?
I would agree with that, with the exception of creating par 2s. It would be difficult though to determine what par would be without running a tournament and taking stats on every hole.
If we don't want things to "feel strange", we should stick with what we have now and just not care about how it looks. Otherwise, because our putting is so much easier than golf, we're going to have to do something strange with either putting or how we look at par if it's important to us to bring it into line with that.
350' holes with 10' wide fairways. Let's see them birdie that on the reg...
Just means we will eventually need more land......
I am a fan of only allowing discs <10 speed in Pro events.....meaning in the pro division...
I have had plenty of discussions with Pros that agree........considering most can get a Teebird out to 400ft.....
