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 played Amateur and Pro settings on TW since 2006, I'm not a new player.
Putting is clearly different after the patch. Speed seems to matter a lot more, which I won't have a problem with so long as the new behavior is consistent. Before the patch, I think it was a little too generous with how hard you could hit the hole without the ball skipping over it.
However, I understand the OP's complaint. I can see how people who put a great deal of time into mastering how putting worked before would be annoyed by these unexpected changes, which are not insignificant. It has been annoying for me to miss puts I was making before, but I'll adjust.
I think this game has been out too long for a fundamental mechanic like putting to be changed now. Putting was unrealistic before, but it was good enough, and people had adapted accordingly. There are still unfixed bugs after the latest patch, and there are so many things other than putting that could have been prioritized. For example, I don't understand why they took the time now to mess with putting when people still can't complete certain challenges because they are broken.
Putting is great now. Realistic. Complainers try to ruin the game

One putt I hit One FOOT too hard and it went over the hole
As you've mentioned this again I'll just say that it may have been slowed down by its interaction with the hole though, so this underestimates the over-speed. I'm not saying there isn't an issue but I do think this example is less clear-cut that you suggest.
This has to be up there with the strangest 1 I’ve seen go over the hole so far
