  Anybody else gotten screwed because they forgot to change their putter distance from 150 on a 15 foot putt off the fringe?

   

  Why in the world would the putter default to that?

  Always check your club before you hit. I have my autocaddy shut off so I have to pick a club or set the increments of the putter. Other wise its my fault.

  Take my two Pfennig as an answer:

  The putter's default is always wrong (*), ALWAYS!
  (except for putts below one foot)

  This is because the putter meter becomes faster on bigger meter amplitude - good to leave it below 30%.

  (*) true for the irons, to a lesser extent.

  I fire my caddie routinely throughout the game but there he is again on the next shot. Double check your clubs before hitting the ball.
