Golf new feature request

Former Member

Dear all,
I'm using an Approach S4 and I wonder if there is an intention to add more stats to the available one that could be tracked while on a golf course.

I've already wrote a message on July 20th 2014 to the support team, but unfortunately didn't get any reply.. so I'm re-proposing it on the forum.

I would like to see an "Extra stats ON/OFF" feature to be able to track sand saves, penalties (like water, unplayable stroke, Out of Bounds, lost balls), club used (with distance), etc.

Are you planning an update to add these features? It should be easy to add such a feature and enable it only on user choose (I mean people shoul dbe able to decide if the want more stats or not).

Another feature to add should be the ability to change the screen saver time-out, as it seems to be too short forcing the player to continuously having to unblock the screen.

Another request for Garmin Connect is to be able to edit a golf round, as some times I can see an error on my scorecard but I don't know how to fix it to have the right stats tracked. Moreover on the Approach S4 you can track the odometer, but this information is not shown on Garmin Connect.

S4 is a great product, but there is a lot of thing to be "fixed" to transform it in a "must have product"! ;-)

Ciao

    S6--Does Not track penalty shots?!!?

    I was absolutely shocked when I took my S6 Approach out to play. I could not believe it did not track penalty strokes!! IPhone apps track penalty strokes, sand saves, par saves etc. Anyone truly trying to get a grasp of their game and keep a legit handicap needs these stats. Simply unbelievable that for $350 this device does not track penalty strokes.
