wedge yardage change with different view

  Hi, why does the yardage for the wedges change when moving from putter view back to normal view. I was only a few yards off the green so the default yardage automatically lessened due to the lesser distance, but because the camera views dont zoom in close enough on some holes I change to the putter view which zooms right in so you can read the breaks. However when i change back the wedge yardage has changed back to default yardage regardless of the distance from the hole, making a very small chip hard to read on the meter. e.g i was only 20 yards away and my L-W changed from 14 yards back to 50. is there a reason for this? is there something i'm missing to get the yardage back to the reduced?

  hi

  from what I understand is when you change to 1 view you get pitching distance of a 50 club wedge, but then it goes back to full club  distance.

  When you change the club for the pitch/chip to the correct length and shot, i.e. from PW to LW and pitch before changing to putting view, that $§%§$ caddie will hand you the longest club he can grab if you select the shot type (e.g. I5 for pitch or I3 for chip), or suggest "full shot" when you select a club.

  Edit: Presumably any spin applied will also be forgotten.</>

  You'll have to repeat the whole selection process.

  ...and why do you only get one look at the reverse view? You set up the shot but when you change the type of shot you're moved back to the front view.
