  Before i explain what had happen I just note that i remember what happen and i did not saved the replay. 

   I WILL NOTE THE EVENT AS I REMEMBER IT FROM YESTERDAY..
  
  I was playing stroke on Kiawah back course, so at the par 5 hole course 11, at my 3rd shot i see the yds distance left top left to flag (i think it was around 53-58?) any ways to get to the point, when i took the shot my shot went 30YDS further from the flag when it landed the green, then i thought why i missed the flag so much with my 75 punch 62 Cleveland wedge??  So i take a look at the replay and i see that the at first place the reading-distance from me to flag was -30 or 32 i do not remember right. But the important is that I was trying to approach a 50-60 yds and in the reality was 32? For one thing i am curtain and that is when i saw the replay it was obvious. 
  
  P.s Thank you.

  In trying to envision your shot , I will ask you this..."Did you touch your arrow to adjust for a cross wind without zooming ?"   In other words ,  did you move arrow left or right while still facing the green from players perspective ?   If so , the depth of your arrow can change quickly and dramatically.

  Nope i looked at the top right distance "box", distance for the flag was 58-60 YDS,i took the shot went from the flag 30 or +more yds further, i looked at the replay and the correct distance was noted in the replay "box" plus my shot that landed on the green +30 yds away from the flag. I Hope that was helpful.

  I'm not sure if I understand the problem, but what I suspect is that you viewed the replay AFTER the screen for the next shot loaded. In such a case, selecting replay from the upper-left menu gives you a replay of the shot that includes the remaining yardage AFTER the shot being replayed. If the yardage shown on the replay was 30, this is what must have happened.

  If you check the box at the bottom-left of the screen BEFORE the game continues to the screen for the next shot, the replay will show the original yardage for the shot.
