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.

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…

Garmin-Cody - this is a phenomenally arrogant stance from Garmin.

Most serious golfers utilise launch monitors or similar technology to get our benchmark distances in controlled conditions. Your statement is that "by design" you do not offer the option to upload e.g. these baselines for those users that would wish to do. We would then wish to compare real world distances to the controlled baseline.

Fixing this seems like it should be straightforward - it seems to require more of a change of attitude rather than any real technical effort.

Why would I want to change my Max 9 iron, Karl? 392 metres is BEAST MODE!!

But seriously folks. This has been going on for years. When is something going to be done?

I agree! I found that it recorded a 0 distance on a drive. It took quite a while for me to go through old records to find and delete it.

How can one see what the averages are for each club? I cannot find an option for that on my S-70.

The option to select what shots by club to be used or not used for average shot distance was available on my old Garmin G8. When I upgraded to the G80, I found out that shot tracking was another victim of previous S/W capabilities.

You'll need to go into Garmin Connect, Gear, Golf Clubs. I do this on my PC.

The Approach G80 offers the ability to measure and assign the club to shots:

During the round you must select Measure Shot from the round menu beginning at the location the shot is hit from on the course.
Then walk to where your ball lands, and select Save Shot on the screen.
The "Select Club" screen will then appear allowing you to select the club that was used to assign the shot.
After selecting the club, the screen will return to hole view where you can then select the measure shot option again if you would like to continue measuring the shots.

The average distance will not display on the unit, as this will be displayed in the "My Bag" section of the Garmin Golf app > Or in the Gear/Golf Clubs section of the Garmin Connect website.

Look, Karl. You're not going to talk me out of my 184 metre 7 iron. Or my 284 metre 4 iron. And definitely not my 392 metre 9 iron.

will not try, Steve. Garmin is just ahead of the time as equipment ist getting 20% longer and 20% more accurate every year.

150 metres on the knocker for my 7 iron. It's a joke. They refuse to do anything about it. I'm going back to ShotScope. If Across was not subscription based I'd go with that.
