It's been mentioned many times on their twitch feeds that prior to patch on low framerates if your swing was bad the game just auto gave you 100%. It no longer does that. All of you that are having trouble with your swing have been swinging poorly all this time and the game has been giving you 100% due to it being tied to the framerate (low framerate=100%). You've gotten used to your swing being 100% but it was a very giving thing the game gave you. So to say it's broken because it no longer gives you a 100% for a poor swing is backwards - now it's fix your swing and adjust. Not meant to be harsh, but I just know it's going to be a common theme the first two weeks after the patch.
TL;DR - It's your swing

Has anyone had this problem yet since update , when attempting to chip from the fringe the club will not move at times? I have had when pulling club back, all short of shots - driver mostly, where the club only goes a couple inches and basically resets. That's annoying.

That's probably why I'm not pulling as much. But I'm getting better swings now, I can handle 98-100. I understand what Doyley means, my swing must have been really bad, lol.

The frustration is from the game pulling the old switcharoo long after people got used to the swing mechanic.
You say that people were swinging poorly, but you can't just decide to call it poor when the game was rewarding it with 100% straight shots. We've been conditioned by the game over thousands of shots to swing a certain way, and now all of a sudden it is wrong. It's perfectly understandable that people aren't going to be happy.
I should mention that I haven't played post update, I'm just going by what I've been reading.

Respectfully Doyley, are you not seeing any differences when you swing post update?
If the end result is that this fix makes 80% of the average and below average players hit more balls in the water, be more inconsistent, and ultimately shoot higher scores, then I'm saying right now the fall off in participation in this game will be fast and severe. A fix revealing flawed swings only penalizes the players that don't have time to hone perfectly timed swings is not a fix but an infusion of frustration and discouragement. The top players will once again be alone in these communities. I hope I'm wrong but the early comments are loud and harsh and think this just ruined a really fun game.

What he's saying is we were getting 100% swings before because of lag. Not that the lag is gone it's the way it was suppose to be.

They probably should have fixed it months and months ago. Though they might not have been aware of it back then..

So far I have been between 92-94% with my driver, but I'm hitting all of my long irons 100%

Played 9 more holes and haven't had anything less than 98%, most of my shots were 100%. Just need to be real smooth in transition and you should hit 100% almost everytime.
I really like this change, because on in-between shots you can now dial it back a bit without having to loft the club up. Could be very useful in the short game.

Just played 2-3 rounds with the new update!
Had a few 99%, but nothing under that. So I'm fine, scored quiet low to be honest.

I had some problems with this starting out, mostly with hooks and slices from probably trying to swing harder. I think I have the tempo now but it's definitely a bit more difficult.

Fixed. It was a server issue! Posted by Anthony 15 mins ago. Just went onto PS4 - every shot 100%. An hour ago everything was 91-93% So it was broken an hour ago. It's not anymore.

I knew it was something. I suddenly was having no problems. We deserve an apology from all the PC players saying we were crying wolf lol

I had to turn off the PS4 and cool down a while ago before something really bad happened, so I hope it's fixed now lol.
