The option to manually edit and change average or max distance for clubs is currently not offered by design, and the inability to make an edit to those distances instantly is not an issue with our products…

Totally agree with you. At least show which course that MAX is recorded. This is a pretty simple feature that can be done in few days for one Software engineer.

I feel like Garmin did not put much attention…

Thanks for the message, but it’s not giving any confidence to the users that it’s being taken seriously. I’m not sure what your app developers are working on, but there’s not a huge amount changing or…

To add to this how does it work? Is it the average of your last 20 rounds, 10 rounds or every single round recorded?

I suppose it's an average of all rounds which have not been marked to be excluded

but that's just a guess, the manual does not go into that

I had the same question. Thanks for the post. Let's hope this gets corrected.

As long as you're not using the CT10's you can press the <return> button (bottom right) when it asks you which club you hit if you don't want that shot used in the average calculations. For mis-hits, duffs, chips, putts etc.

You can also create a "dummy" club to change any already posted scorecard hits that you don't want used for a particular shot.

I Think, it would be even more important to correct or delete the max distances that were accidentally recorded (e.. wrong hole) and to be able to discard failed shots.

that is already possible: go to Garmin Golf, view your recorded round via scorecards, there (for each recorded shot) you can change the club used (or assign do dummy club if nothing fits), delete falsely recorded shots etc.
still does not fix your statistics problem, and going through old rounds is very tedious.

Hi I have to agree with the need to be able to edit the max and average distance data otherwise the feature becomes meaning less. We have invested a significant amount into Garmin products to make our performance tracking simple. editing each shot defeats the purpose. For me there should be a lower figure and higher figure perhaps 30 yards for short irons and anything out with this range could be discounted as a miss hit or a bump and run for instance?

At the end of the day I'm looking for how far I hit each club consistently not the thins or little chips around the green or wrong data because I forgot to push a button before moving to the next hole.

Counterpoint..why use club trackers if you want to manually enter numbers in? I play on a course with a decent amount of elevation changes and awkward lies so my stats aren’t what they would be if I played a flat course. The stats are what they are though and I accept them for that.

Make a fake club and manually relabel shots around the green or even punch out shots from under trees to that if you don’t want your club data to reflect those shots.

What I’ve learned from bad shots from my game affecting stats is I’ve struggled with my hybrid and long irons so I need to work on them. It is what it is.
