I've been playing all day since the patch and reading multiple boards and you're the first post I've seen about that. That is really bad. I forgot they mentioned randomizing holes, and from what you're saying it's actually affecting the outcome of the scores! There's no worse bug than one that actually changes the outcome of the match, even a match riddled with other bugs that don't affect the actual score. Good Grief. Seriously.
On one hand, EA is still working to make changes on this game. It's kind of giving me warm fuzzies on the future of the franchise. Like maybe there will be another game made in the future, we won't have to wait years. And if it's the case, I'm sure there will be many of the changes we wanted in here in a new game.
I wish they wouldn't change my settings after a patch though. Here I tried to putt and nothing was happening... to find out my putting was change to the right stick.

See how the game needs to cater to a multitude of people, not only yourself?
100% Agree with your comment. If there is no physics in this game, there will be no players who would want to play. There is a song by the Sex Pistols called "No Future" with the ending of the song repeating the title. If physics is not addressed, that song would be playing on the future of the franchise.
The good
- You now have to work out the wind direction yourself no more of the arc doing for you
The bad
- Finesse dispersion has been overtuned. Nobody in their right mind asked for MORE dispersion
- Putting stat changes have been overtuned. There is no one in their right mind would sacrifice all their other attributes to get 10 in putting to make it the way it was pre-update

Every calculation was up to you - and there were no zero wind games so there was always something you had to account for.
The bad - can't argue with that but I was expecting the max putt level to be actual small squares to expose any hidden zig-zags. I will add that random holes for Online was a bad decision.

They were probably trying to please the Simmers always complaining the game was too arcade and easy. By doing so, they made the game even more difficult for arcade players to hole out. Déjà vu all over again dating back to TW10 which gave us TW11.

My biggest pet peave with EA games is their complete willingness to please Simmers who are incapable of being satisfied. EA FC is the only EA game that does not do what Simmers want. For UFC and NHL, arcade players can still push back and revert to original settings. For PGA Tour, all simmer requested changes are irreversible. I get annoyed at games getting broken and more difficult because of a Simmer’s whim. That was what happened in Update 3.0. I just like all 2K games because Simmers don’t get the platform and bully pulpit.

While your statement might be valid, I don't thing this is to please simmers. It does nothing to make the game anymore realistic.
What it is doing IMHO is doing a better job of balancing things in the game. If the changes they have made were how the game played originally no one would be complaining.
The difficulty levels are not well balanced... and if they did a better job with that most people would be able to find a difficulty setting to use. You may not be be playing under PRO or TOUR. But does it matter... it is just a label.
It may be a surprise to people but I don't think there are any SIMMERS playing this game.

I don't know what You mean by physics. But I think this game already has better graphics and physics than 2k. But I'm moving on to 2k along with everybody else and I'm leaving this game to the couple dozen cheaters and couple dozen guys on pc who want to play a hard sim offline by themselves. Enjoy.
