Putts travelling less than half distance

  Twice today I putted and hit within 1 line of the center and the putt went roughly 25% of the distance it should have.  The first time, I assumed I must have had the scale wrong.  The second, I had a 7' downhill putt on a 10 speed green.  I pulled it back to the 40% mark on the 15' scale.  Just missed a ding.  Ball went 2'.

   

  It was Hole 10 on the Oakmont back9 ready go.

  I have seen the same thing  when putting. Has started the last few days ago it seems . It does  not happen on every putt per round but has happened ( just never know when it will happen).

  Weird indeed !!!

  This past week I have missed more 2 and 3 footers since I can remember ....and many of the Legends in our CC are feeling the  same pain... We have noticed a change in the game...

  It's happened to me 3 times in the last two days.  Putting for eagle in all three cases.  Example:  12' - 1" up  Hit 14 (I always over putt not to be short)  Ball rolls 4'.  Crazy!  This hurts when you are in tournaments.

  Another thing I've noticed with the last updates is the angles on putts need to be exaggerated big time.  Trying to line up a putt with chip method or line method doesn't even get me close to the hole any longer!!

  I  guess if WGT doesn't care about it's current members and is only catering to new members this is fine, but please stop changing all of the basics that we have learned over the years.  I feel sorry for anyone trying to make Legend tier now, let alone ever getting to tour legend!!

  Edit...

  Just happened again, and I forgot to save the replay.  Also I had a 25 yard shot with 17 mph wind with me, hit it for punch 25, went 16 yards and landed in water!!  This is not right!  I'll post a screen shot of next putt that falls short!
