Putting issue

  Today, after I do a putting preview, the next putt travels 100 feet or more, regardless of the power I set it at.. After taking a mulligan, it returns to the actual distance it should.

  I don't want to play with mulligans. In fact, I can't if I'm playing another golfer.

  Sometimes after the put, it gives me an error message and locks up. I have to restart the game.

  What's going on and how can I fix this. It wasn't happening yesterday, but is today.

  Make sure you check the scale on the putter.

  Never trust the Auto Caddy, , I shut it off myself in the settings.

  Simply don’t use putting preview. It’s just a crutch anyway. Learning to read the breaks without it will make you a better putter.

  That's the problem for me.  reading the breaks.  understanding how much break/how little break to play.  after 45k putts, if I haven't figured it out by now, I'm not sure I ever will.

  After 45K putts,I got a couple questions to ask.

  How many of them have you tracked? the hole, the distance, up/down,the speed, ding- pre/post.

  and if you tracked them, did you look at your notes when you replayed the hole again?

  I play only on mobile and usually when I'm on the go at a store waiting for my wife or kids.  Taking notes, keeping notes isn't an option not for me as a player, but for the mobile player in general.

  So let me say I'm married also and my wife won't give any extra cash to buy balls and in between stores on our shopping trips I use pencil and store reciepts  to take notes.

  Merion 10 - 12'ROP 2 sq ^P  GS 12,  PutPal 25', aimed 3/4 sq above pin @  42%  dinged  it went past hole 4' missed Bird 2ndP ^hill tapped in

  When I get time I put on  (Homemade) notepad. You've been around for a while and made it to TL. How bad do you want to be a Champion?

  I'm just saying

  Totally agree. All it does is hinder your development

  Eagle touch , as an amateur , you need to check everything before playing a shot , things go back to the original selection for example when playing in coin rooms after first time out . Get a system for each and every shot and never waiver. 
  if you keep getting screen freezes , if on mobile with app , delete app , and turn off device , reload app , it might help
