Practice Range Enhancement

Please add the ability to pick a flag/pin distance on the main range. Would love to have a basic but adjustable green with approach not blocked by water, etc. Basically the same functionality that TrackMan provides.

This is a much needed feature. Foresight offers this and I just switched from hitting on gc quad to my R50 and I miss this a lot.

Yes, this would be a great added feature

I agree! I think many of us use the range much more than playing actual courses, so just some basic quality of life improvements there would make the software so much better. A moveable flag on the green (should be easy?). A chipping green. A mode where you have to progressively hit distances before moving to the next target, etc.

Yeah I completely agree, Since I have had the unit when it was released over in the UK I haven't played a single HTH course, Personally for me the courses are a bit of a gimmick on HTH (my personal opinion), But If I want to play a course I'll use GSPro as I like the realism,

Main factor here is I just wish the different ranges were better. If the likes of Square and Rapsodo can implement decent practice facilities then why cant Garmin considering they're so much bigger than the other companies.

It seems that you have to submit feature requests through official channels. So I would kindly ask everyone to do so here:: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/

I added this submission

Device : Garmin R50

On the practice range, have the ability to set a pin distance. This feature is offered by most of your competitors (Foresight, Square, Rapsodo, etc.).

A nice differentiator would be able to set rings around the pin at various distances to gamify the practice.

Thanks for the heads up. I submitted a request through there.
