There are regular postings here about the stats getting broken due to other bugs and the only way to "fix" it is to delete the club and start recording again from scratch.
Adding edit capability would be a far more convenient workaround for your customers until the underlying cause is eventually fixed.
All over the golf Garmin forums, really a lot of, people are complaining and asking for a fix for this very important part of having the correct golf club distances in your watch and on your golf app. Never it has been fixed or improved in the last years(!). I liked my S60, S62 and now my MARQ Golfer with the intergraded Virtual Caddy (One of the reasons i bought it). But without the possibility of the correct club distance I want to have in my watch i only use it as a score card and distance F/M/B/ . Which any cheaper golf watch can do anyways. By the way the measured shot distances are also not always correct to the error rate in gps distances in general. Adding even more discrepancy among the proper club distance. That is why i propose a extra column where you can set your distances of your club instead generated by wrong data points captured by the watch. If this is implemented and working with the Virtual Caddy i feel the watch is the best golf watch for me.
But for the Garmin golf engineers to implement it and add resources to it they need to know if people want this or not. They are not going to browse the forums and look at people complaining about something and decide oh shieet we better start programming some code to make these complaints go away. Does not work like that here at Garmin (and probably at other companies too).
They should have some real golf players group/commission who knows what is important and how it should be to pitch ideas for the software development to implement. But looking at the way the golf software is developed i do not think this is the case or it can be improved imo.
What they will do is listening to constructive arguments from forum users how interact with them thru Chris-Garmin and Rob-Garmin.
Any idea how to improve their design and software together with an understanding how it should be done or is liked by the end user is communicated by them and seriously looked at. But, they need the insight to see the users want it not by complaining but by contacting the above mentioned two and or making a clear list of interested in the propose feature.
That is what i did and wrote with Garmin directly to get it done but to make it happen sooner it would help if you are not only complaining about the wrong distances presented by the golf watch on this forum but constructively add at least your interest in the below outlined proposal by replying and or contacting Garmin directly with your complaint and proposal to how you see it fit to be resolved.
If you have the time to write and complain i ask you to make some more time to help it solve the main and biggest issue/draw back/disappointment of the Garmin golf watch environment by actively replying, below.
Now i go play golf because the sun is shining and the weather is fine...
The proposal outline below:
