Make it easier to delete/edit shot lengths for each club.

Hi, I would like to see an improvement on how to manually remove misscalculated shots for each club. As of right now you have to manually check through each hole and scorecard and manually delete the shots (or add more shots) to get the correct length if the watch have missed to register a shot after the one you hit with the club.

My suggestion is to improve the "Gear" page, both on Garmin Connect and in the golf app so that you can expand each club and get all shots registered with that club, and from there manually delete shots that you know is miscalculated. So for example currently I have a 300+ yard shot with my 3 Iron which is impossible, but to remove that shot I'll have to manually check through each scorecard and hole to find that particular shot which is a big pain in the ass with the amount of rounds I have played, so If i just could find it directly under the "Gear" tab and remove it from there it would be so much easier.

An improvement ontop of this would be to add a link for each shot in the "Gear" section that would redirect you to the correct scorecard and hole for that particular shot.

    Very good suggestions. It would also be nice if the app also could warn about unusual distances registered to be able to correct this more easily

    I agree that this function would be incredibly useful

    Yes, please add this. For a long time I had an unusually average and long distance with my iron 7. I had to search al my scorecards twice (took me about an hour!) to search for where that distance was put in so I could delete it. I know other companies also have a ‘real average” where they don’t count the shot that are very short or far (bad shots) in your average.

    Thanks for the support, hope  reads this and add it to the suggestion list. Honestly there is alot of small things that is missing that would increase the funcionality alot which should have been there from the beginning,

    I don't know who it is that decides what to add and how it all should function but comparing to other smaller companies it feels like Garmin is living on past reputation and the fact that they have sort of been the go to brand in the past for golf watches. If they don't wanna get overthrown by up and coming brands they really need to up their game with stuff like this or they for sure will lose market shares.

    Maybe they don't have that many coders to their advantage on the Golf side of things but as of now I know of atleast 10 different things that could be done to really improve the overall functionality of the watch(es), and that is just from a software point of view and not a hardware one.

    True, there could just be an option to manually add specific lengths for each club and anything over or under those lengths is automaticly dismissed. So lets say i decide to add minimum length of 140 yards and longest 180 yards to my 7 iron, it would automaticly dismiss lengths over or under those yardages to the statistics.

    Yes! Especially because i somtimes will use my 7 or 8 iron to chip and that would ruin the average

    Since i don't currently have sensors on my 7, 8 and 9 irons i guess i could createa fake club that i can attach these shots to. Or does the app automatically know that this is an short aporoach shot and leave it out of the average distance?

    No it doesen't understand it's a short approach shot, either you create a new club and choose that to register on or you can do as I do with bad shots and short chips around the green, when it asks for a club just hit the back button and It won't register a club to that shot, just that a shot happened where you chipped/did a bad shot. That way it won't ruin the statistics for the club.

    Ah, that's a good tip. Was not aware that you could cancel it and it still would be registred. Won't work for my clubs with sensors (putter, gw, pw) and makes me really think again before i buy sensors for all clubs.
