Hole in one contest with Garmin Approach R50

We are purchasing the Garmin Approach R50.  We want to use it for a hole-in-one contest.  We would first do a "closest to the pin" and then for the top 25 a hole-in-one contest.  We want to then play the same hole over and over and over.  Does the Hero software have this capability?

  • Home tee hero allows for full round simulation for multiple users, but does not have a specific mode for operating on a single hole or par 3 without the next shot being prompted after all users have hit their tee shot. 

    There are other platforms compatible with the Approach R50 that may offer modes for hole in one contests, but at this time a specific game mode for hole in one is not currently offered through Home Tee Hero on the Approach R50. 

    Users on a par 3 can re-take a shot if the mulligan prompt is selected in time after the shot is recorded...but if prompt to re-take the shot is not selected in time, the software will progress to prompting the next user to hit, or the next shot from where the ball landed from the tee box to then be take as if a normal round is being recorded. 

    More info on available features for the Approach R50 can be referenced through the support site in the link here: What Golf Simulator Features Are Available With My Approach Launch Monitor?

    If mode options like this are desired from users, I can forward this feedback to our team for further consideration of future enhancements as well.
