Should there be Olympic events based on modern sports?

It makes good sense to have events using dead weights like shot putt and discus. But why not also include events using objects designed for distance? Like a golf driver event, or how about a golf putting event? How many people have any idea of what the record is for shot putt or discus? I bet people would be more likely to keep track of the record distance for throwing a baseball or kicking a soccer ball. The only drawback is that for lighter objects the wind is going to be a much bigger factor. Maybe some events could be moved indoors, like finding the greatest distance that someone could sink a basketball.
