If junior golf goes even further into bomb and gouge play, you’ll definitely see it take over the tour.

It is less a predictor of good play because I generally still kinda stink, but ever since I started hitting driver as much as I can on the course (as opposed to playing for a distance with a long iron or hybrid on a mid to long par 4, say), my scoring has definitely gotten more consistent. Just might work for me because I am fairly long off the tee, and the shorter an iron/wedge is for my approach, the better for me as far as accuracy.
I still am a little hesitant with some touchier wedge shots from like 20-60 yards but personally I have success being as close as possible for my approach shot on a par 4 and going for the green in two on most par 5's.
That being said I think watching that sort of golf gets tiresome after a while. It's why I enjoyed Morikawa's win at the PGA so much, it felt like less of a bomb fest and more like a show of true precision and club selection/execution.
