Putting Ruined in Update 3.0
Guys please, revert. This update on putting is terrible. Additionally, the lip-outs are terrible. I've got 100 matches under my belt on this IP to learn the game and just getting a handle on it. I've...

All they did was force higher scores by making shots more inconsistent.
They force lip outs and you can tell because all they did was program the ball to spin in a circle as it gets very close to the hole. You can see the ball sometimes completely spin in a circle as it comes to a rest near the hole even without a lip out occurring. Lip outs actually rarely occur in a real round of golf so this aspect is very unrealistic. The pros may have 1 lip out in 3-4 rounds of golf and this game should be the same especially with points allocated into putting.
They also force miss-hits when putting. I have points in putting and often times the ball will be hit 1-2’ offline when it leaves the putter even with a perfect back swing and follow through. This happens way more often than it should.
The putting needed to be tweaked but simply forcing higher scores by forcing lip outs and miss hits is not the way to do it. That is simply a bail out in programming.
