IMO Less divisions encourages stronger play because you are consistently playing people better than you. I don't know though, let's hear some ideas.
Doubtful. You might play with people better than you for one round, depending on the luck of the draw, after which you'll be playing with people who just shot the same score that you did.
Why not get rid of the recreational division in general and make it:
Novice
Intermediate
Advanced
Novice = <850
Intermediate = 850-925
Advanced = >925
Stupid idea?
Different rating benchmarks?

I had this same thought. No need for 4 AM divisions and novice is less of a misnomer than REC. Someone said earlier that REC seems to be for players that take it "less seriously" but in my 10 years of playing I disagree. In my experience it's a division of players that may in fact take it very seriously, but just aren't that good. Novice, to me = new. If you don't ever graduate from novice then it too becomes a misnomer to some degree, but less such than having Novice and REC and 4 divisions in general is.
Personally, my favorite division splitting is the colored divisions; they use that for the PDGA leagues and it's honestly the most fun I've had from a competition standpoint while playing a sanctioned event because you know everyone you're playing against is mostly around the same skill level.
