So I have recently got myself a Fenix 6x pro, and loving it, also recently i have started playing a bit more golf. Obviously not playing often enough before has lead me to a few more penalty shots than I would like and while I love the golf app and its functionality, I find it a bit hard to get around penalty shots and they way they are tracked.
I have two very minor issues however it would be great if there was or could be in the future a fix to maybe make the recording and tracking of those penalty shots a bit easier to work with.
1) When say I hit a ball off the tee trying to hit over a water hazard, and I end up in the drink, I then go to the drop zone and play as per usual, at the hole my watch (golf app) shows me my strokes, which I then adjust, number of putts which I adjust and then penalties which I then adjust.
All works great in that sense but where I think something could perhaps be improved is say when I am at the drop zone and after hitting my shot (shot 3 in this case including the penalty stroke), the watch as per usual asks you to select the club you hit with, if say at the bottom of the list of clubs there was an option to record shot as a penalty say, and then ask for club the club selection again, then it would automatically add in the penalty.
that way when viewing that hole on the ios app or web would show the first shot from the tee as a out of bounds shot and then automatically say 3rd shot from the drop zone rather than what looks like a shot from the tee that I ended up hitting to the drop zone.
perhaps maybe there is another section before the club selection asking was it a lost ball, out of bounds, water hazard, bunker (but in this case possibly it wouldn't then add one to your strokes)
Now I know that I can edit that shot and say out of bounds but I have a bit of trouble when editing those shots and i just end up making it look like I hit from one place, missed the ball totally and then moved my ball to another spot and hit from there.
I hope I'm making sense there?
2) Based a little on the above it would be great if there would be a way to edit a shot (and im referring mainly to the penalty shots here) and in the ios app or web app be able select a rough area of where it landed on the course. This really isnt needed but I would totally help my OCD about tracking and having everything correct and accounted for.
But otherwise I love the app and am really enjoying it. But yeah would be cool to be able to track where those penalties occurred while on the course as its quite hard on the apps.
