  On tourney and champ greens i'm so regularly killing myself by using my 50' putter when i'mm setting up thinking i've got the 25' putter.....perfect put and ZOOM....playing a bracket right now on champ greens and its happened twice on the first nine and i'm at E when I should be at 2 underish.....

  Please in the next version let ME decide when to change my putter.  I know this is my own fault, but I get caught up doing all the math and i forget to check......

   

  I know the guy i'm up against is going to go 68 give or take and this is costing me.....

  And look out for the scroll wheel. That's also how you tee off with a 64 degree wedge on a 620 yard par five. And don't expect any sympathy from your playing partners. They're too busy laughing.

  You only have one putter, how hard you hit it is entirely up to you.

  I triple check my club/scale 3 times before hitting the ball

  I think having the wrong putter scale has bitten us all at some point during our time here.  In most cases it causes a short term bout of swearing but shouldn't result in any permanent damage to your psyche.

  Playing a tee shot with the wrong club has only happened twice to me, once the par 5 16th at Kiawah where I just cleared the water and once on BPB #3 which landed me in the heavy rough between the tee and green. Trust me, you don't want to go there.

  What I often get is the wrong club is being shown but when I go to select the right one I find it already highlighted.  The highlighted club and the one I'm being told I have don't match up.  I hope this makes sense.  I haven't ever tried playing a shot to see which club I actually have in my virtual hands, it always seems to happen during a round that matters.

  Next time it occurs I'll grab a screen shot of it so you can see what I mean.
