Manually Set Distance in My Bag for Virtual Caddie

I have the S62 but am not using CT10 sensors. I would like to manually enter / set the club distances in "My Bag" for the "Virtual Caddie" rather than rather than it relying on 5 games of play. I often forget to select the club after a swing or select something wrong, out of sequence or it saves odd yardages. Ergo I would prefer to manually enter my distances so it suggests the right club, regardless of what is recorded. I'm happy that it records my distances (assuming I've got them selected properly) but I would prefer to have the Virtual Caddie suggest a club based on "my" reality, not that of the S62. It's getting a little old to delete and re-add a club to wipe out the 230 yard lob wedge. 

Thanks!

    I would like to do this too, but it doesnt seem possible...!!  Lots of threads on here about trying to manage the un-representative shots/chip shots / duffed shots etc and not muck up the stats... Seems GArmin are not too bothered about providing this functionality unfortunately...

    I have written an post about it and asked for people to support the idea like you proposed and wanted to make it possible to have your own club length data available.

    Not a lot of active support from forum member to support it and also nothing from Garmin support.

    Only i see asking for it in other threads which makes it difficult for Garmin to gather the interest for it to implement it.

    But it proves the interest for it but Garmin support Golf dept. does not look at it or actively let users know their SW update road map.

    I think mine, yours and others idea/proposal will not be implemented because i start to feel that this is not something they are going to do after many years of nothing improving or doing something about it.

    After many years of using their Golfing products (S60, S62, MARQ Golfer, G8, CT10, True Swing, Z80, Z82) and reading the forum almost none of any good golfers suggestions has been implemented in their outdated looking and performing software ui on these devices.

    I am heavily invested in their hardware products purchases but have decided to give up on it in the future when the product reach its [limited] end of life cycle due to the poor Software implementation.

    Even the expensive $2000 MARQ Golfer watch has issues and the battery can not be changed as promised in the beginning of the sales marketing release. 

    The expensive MARQ Golfer can not even use the more accurate Galileo system for the Golf app!

    The stupidity of it is the watch can use it for the secondary apps but is not available for the main Golfing App.

    The other way around it should be at least.

    This is a bad implementation of course and caters for the manty times big distance inaccuracy of several meters when your approach the green (In Europe this is where the Galileo system works very accurate).

    i  have written articles for the Garmin MARQ Golfer in a Dutch glossy watch magazine (HORLOGES) and several other short stories about the MARQ Golfer watch to make it stand out and promote it in a positive way. I can not do this anymore since i believe now the MARQ Golfer watch has to many issues to be a good purchase choice, in my opinion.

    Here is the link of my proposal and not real interest in forum users support or Garmin Support.

    I noticed a lot of Garmin golf users are abandoning their Garmin Golf support an stop buying it and switch to other brands like Shotscope for instance. Myself personally my next golf watch will be no MARQ Golfer new model but the TAG Heur Golf watch or any other new upcoming luxury golf watch to use.
