The G80 received an update an update a little over 3 years ago that allows users to manually save shot distances, and the distance can be assigned to the specific club used, with the information syncing…

Hi Garmin Chris, would I be able to get this update to my G80 as well?

Does this work? If I buy a G80 and reply here will it have auto shot enabled? I can’t give up my X40 without it! Or is there any way it can work with the CT10, fenix 6 or X40 to record this information? It is vital to me for reviewing my round afterwards. Thanks

But for those which Chris enabled the feature for, does it work? How does it work in practice?

So at the start of each hole, you have to hit "Measure Shot" on the G80 menu and hit "Begin Measurement". This is so the device knows where the tee shot was. After that, once you reach your ball, you go back into "Measure Shot", hit "Save Shot", and select the club you used. Then, every subsequent shot, approach your ball, and do the Save + Club.

You can edit the shots afterwards in the app (change the club, lie, location, if it was in plays, out of play, OB, etc) or delete shots.

It can't do putting, but it will provide strokes gained afterwards, show dispersions, average distance and max distance you hit with that club.

No autoshot, but it's pretty easy to lock the device and keep it on you in your back pocket.
