Looking in the OP's history, it shows a few club pass purchases but now he's not in a CC.
My guess here is the CC he was in was at the level for unlimited shot/putter pals and lost that once leaving the CC.
Or it's turned off, you can turn it on/off quicker with the button below the meter at the full power end; it's easier/quicker than going through the settings menu and easy to accidentally click during a game.
*edit, yep, OP Was in a CC that is at level 6, don't recall what level it is to get free pals.
