I have had my R10 for a couple of weeks now.
I just started playing HTH and I wanted to share my thoughts.
Setting: I only use my R10 at a public driving range in SoCal. My index fluctuates between 18 to 16 (Just want to let people know I am not a scratch player)
1) I noticed when I am playing HTH its better to play in " Breezy" mode adds more fun to the game
2) I am using an alignment stand I bought on Etsy which has helped in the following ways. I have been saving money on range balls because I don't need to figure where the line is anymore
3) I have noticed it does not pick up every shot which is a bummer because
- this wastes balls I have to pay for at the range
- sometimes the shot I hit is perfect and when I am playing against someone this could help me win the game.
- Yes I know the distances are off ok so be it ( I know this will get better when they come out with future releases)
4) How cool is we can play over 42000 courses and never get bored playing the same course twice.
- ( I do play against someone over 90% of the time this just adds more challenge to the game)
5) Positive note:
- By playing HTH I now have the ability to put myself under pressure at the driving range and it feels like I am playing a real game because now every ball counts.
- ( I do want to mention I never use the do-over button because I can't do that on the course.
- I am trying to figure how to do a flop shot onto the green so it sticks and does not roll when it lands.
6) Final Thoughts:
- I am grateful that my wife bought this for my birthday
- I am ok with it not being perfect because its giving me the real feel of being at a real course when I am using it on the driving range.
-
Now when I play on a real course I feel more comfortable hitting a ball and don't have that tension because I've been practicing under those conditions.
- Keep up the good work Garmin and I look forward to all the enhancements you continue to make with this device.
