Hi Garmin team,
First off, thank you for continuing to support and improve the Approach R50. The built-in touchscreen and Home Tee Hero integration make it a fantastic all-in-one simulator, and the recent updates have been great.
One feature that would make the R50 even more valuable for groups is team play formats such as Scramble and Best Ball. Right now, multiplayer stroke play works well, but many golfers prefer casual or competitive rounds using scramble/best ball formats. Having this built directly into Home Tee Hero would:
-
Encourage more group use and friendly competitions.
-
Provide variety beyond standard stroke play.
-
Match features offered by other sim platforms (GSPro, E6, etc.), helping keep the R50 ecosystem self-contained.
The R50 already tracks multiplayer scores and alternates turns, so it seems this could be implemented as a software/UI update rather than requiring new hardware.
Please consider adding Scramble and Best Ball modes (and potentially other team formats) in a future update. I know many R50 users would get a lot of value out of this and it would make the device even more versatile for both practice and entertainment.
Thanks again for listening to user feedback and continuing to develop this excellent product!
