    Garmin responded to a different post about this recently. They gave the following link to submit it. I would also comment on the other post so they see how many are having this issue and the need to fix it. https://garmin.com/ideas

    Agreed   Every water drop, drops the ball on edge or even in water.  Need to hit a tleast 3 clubs further than the sidtance would calculate to not hit ball straight down back into water.  Its an almost automatic 10 steokes on these drops.

    Rules of golf allow a drop back along the line the ball entered the hazard, or even let us re hit of tee if that was where ball started from.

    A proper drop should be back a few yards in flat ground where one can properly hit from, or a proper drop zone.

    Can't believe this program even got released with this issue, and even more unbelievable it's taking this long to fix.  Does Garmin even have golfers testing this program?

    Thank you for reaching out to us and we apologize for any poor experience(s) this issue may have caused. Although we don't have a timeline for a fix to this point, this is a high priority issue that we are actively investigating for a viable fix. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding while we work to improve this feature. I have added all of you currently on this thread to the investigation ticket. 

    Current viable "work-arounds": whether in Weekly Tournament or a general HTH round, the best option is to move your aimpoint to a 'safer' landing zone and take a high lofted club and chip/hit it out that way.

    Sidenote: in a general HTH round, you can utilize the mulligan feature to re-hit either the original shot that got the ball in this situation, or the shot after the ball has been dropped in one of these tougher situations.

    I believe In the on course practice you have a ball pick up tool, utilize a version of that where you can drop along the reverse path of the last shot as it entered the hazard.  Just a thought.

    Along with that, can we add the helicopter fly-over action that is in practice mode  to course play.  So when someone walks out of the room during sim play and misses the fly over you can replay it at any time.

    I don’t like to be rude, but didn’t feel like anyone was getting a real response from Garmin on this issue.  Previous posts only telling us to submit to an ideas page fell short of the customer service I typically expect from Garmin. 

    This is exactly what i wanted to hear, that it’s a priority to get fixed.  Thank you for the response.
