    Now I want just one, and only clear answer for this situation:

    I had about 20y little downhill straight putt. It was speed11.0 green. I just aimed and thought power. hit it. Then i realized, forget to check what is distance. Of course it was 60y. You can imagine where ball was. And that was also last hole, that time. 

    Why in hell WGT do that?? Just for fun??

    You screwed up.  Always check the distance.

    Is that clear enough?

    The scroll up/down button on your mouse can screw you in no time.

    Something else I just recently learned the hard way is the putter scale you select changes when you change views.  I usually pick my putter scale then look at both front and reverse view for putting.

    Another thing to look out for when putting or hitting approaches/tee shots is the Notepad.

    Say you're on a green & looking at a particular putt & say you're getting conflicting reads but you've a note on the putt, lets say something like "Reverse View the true break" or something like that.

    Well if you scroll through your notes it also scrolls through your Putter Scales at the same time so you might intend to hit a short/mid range putt with your 10/15, 20/30 Scale that you selected before you opened your Notebook but be careful when you close your Notepad you're Putter Scale could now be set to 300!

    No idea why, that has never happened to me. I always select the scale 1st, the look the reverse,  flip back to front and putt. The scale always stays the same.

    Mine does the same thing, It is not only putter scales but also club selection on approach shots. For those of us that it happens to we really have to double and triple check putter sales on putts and clubs on approach shots..
