  It is no fun to have a 150 feet ruler and a 19 feet putt. Set the ruler to no more and double the sshot.

  I'm assuming you were putting off the fringe. If you use a mouse scroll down a bit to 30 foot. On the far left of the meter there is a little arrow. Click on the one pointing down until it says 30 feet.

  Or use your mouse wheel to scroll to desired scale. A word of advice though, DON'T putt from the fringe, sooner or later it will cost you a stroke/whiff!

  Just use a higher putting scale, and adjust your feet of power accordingly. Using a higher putting scale may not be the way the game was designed to play a fringe-putt, and some have said it could be a bug, but it will save a whiffed shot and give a player a chance for their birdie without whiffing.
