I think the argument is based on tournament committees and members of certain clubs wanting the courses to play as difficult as possible to make it tougher on the pros. Members do not want their course destroyed (in relation to par). If you eliminate par, you stop having par 5's turned in 500 yard par 4's for the pros.

The pros will still be destroying the courses. If the pro shoots a 65 with no relation to par and then a member goes and shoots a +16 for an 88, the pro still beat the member on the same course by 23 strokes, par or not.
