Re: Club or Putter Distanced Change During Aiming

  In my last two rounds, I have had the club changed on me or the Putter Distance changed while I was aiming my shot.  While lining up a 6 foot putt, I didn't notice until after swinging that the Putter was changed to 150 feet!!!!  And while swinging on a drive, I noticed that my  club had changed to a LW!

  In neither time did my mouse ever go near the lower left part of the screen.  This has ruined my enjoyment, including one in a tournament.

  Could you have touched the scroll wheel? It's easily done with some mouses. (Mice?)

  I'm on a Macbook with a bluetooth mouse, so it has no scroll wheel.

  Meeces. As in those miserable meeces Jinx used to rant about.  :-D

  There is a sound associated with changing clubs and if you have it turned down or have other noise going on it's real easy not to hear it. It is also easy to hit the wheel when moving the swing icon.

  For some reason, my original reply didn't go through.  I'm on a Macbook with a bluetooth mouse that has no scroll wheel.

  Is there any other way to select clubs besides manually clicking on them?

  I don't know, but it literally just did it to me again.  It switched me from a driver to a 3 hybrid without me going anywhere near the bottom left of the screen.

  I'm wondering if your bluetooth connection might be picking up a stray signal from something else. Maybe try a corded mouse or use turn the bluetooth off and use the touchpad to see if it changes.
