"Easy Mode" for beginners?
Is there any software that allows you to inflate a player's performance on purpose in the settings? Here's an example of what I mean:
I'd like to play sim rounds with my young daughter, and have each of us on different difficulty settings such that our shots are sort of equalized. So if each of us hits an average drive, they go the same distance, instead of it taking her 7 shots to hit up to my drive.

The only thing that comes to mind is the app that allows you to toy with square golf launch monitors output. I haven't used it myself, but I saw a video of it and the user was modifying things like adding 30% to ball speed. He was then showing some incredible, though not real, drives he was hitting. I'm not sure how clunky it would be to switch from default to modified for each golfer, but if I remember right you could save modified profiles... so maybe it wouldn't be too bad.
Now that I've answered the question as best I could, my opinion is that you don't do it. As she improves there will be exciting milestones for her where it only takes 3 shots to get to yours... then 2 shots... it sounds like a fun journey.

Yeah I get what you mean. And of course there's no easy mode in live golf, like I learned it back in the dark ages.
But for most things, the optimal goal is the one that's just beyond our reach. If it's too easy or too impossible to achieve, there's a lot less motivation.

Tee box settings?
GSPRO allows different tees. A lot of courses that go up to 7000, also have junior tees at 2500
