Gear options list does not include all golf clubs - and assigned Nicknames are not consistently used across Garmin apps

The list of clubs presented in the "Gear" and "My Bag" list does not include all golf clubs that players may use.  Seems like the list of clubs was created by a young male golfer.  Really, how many male golfers over 40 and how many women golfers use a 1 iron?

For me, this list is missing "7 Wood" and "7 Hybrid".  I get around this limitation by selecting another club from the list that's not in my bag and assigning it a Nickname.  For example, I've assigned the Nickname of "7 Hybrid" to the "2 Iron" option.

But the use of Nicknames brings up another annoyance.  The assigned Nicknames are used in my Approach S60 for club selection.  And also when viewing scorecards, "My Bag" and the performance data when using Garmin Golf and Garmin Connect.  However, when I use Scorecard ==>  Edit / Add Clubs ==> Edit Club, the club selection list doesn't show my assigned Nicknames.  Very annoying.

At minimum, please add commonly used missing standard clubs (such as 7 Wood and 7 Hybrid) to the club selection list in "Gear" and "My Bag".

If you can't do that, then please be sure to start using / showing assigned Nicknames throughout all the Garmin app functions.

Ideally, the fixed club list shown in "Gear" and "My Bag" should be replaced with a free-form data entry sheet.  I can understand that you might to have classifications for clubs (i.e., Driver, Woods, Hybrids, Irons, Putter) for some of the performance metrics to work correctly.  But beyond that, why do you care whether I have a 3 Wood, 5 Wood, 7 Wood, or even an oddball 4 Wood (which is what my 3 Wood loft is currently set to).  Let me select "Wood" and let me give it a name, enter the loft, shaft length, etc.
