Marking location of putts in new software update

Hello,

I know the ability to mark location of first putts was included in the last software update for the s70. Is this feature now also available on the epix gen 2 ? The maps have been updated. When I click view green and hit the start/action key as per the s70, it doesn’t seem to offer marking putts as was described for the s70. Thanks.

Steps to mark putt location:

While Approaching the green at the end of the hole, the flag location should be set prior to physically being located on the green.
Then once you are actually located on the green per GPS, you can then access the green view from the golf menu.
Stand in the location where you ball is on the green prior to putting.
Tap the Action button located on the upper right side of the watch.
Display will alert "Putt Marked" on screen.

Hi Cody,

thank you for your detailed response. However, when I am on the green and enter “view green” from top right menu and click where the first putt location is from on the green, all it does is move the flag to that location. Clicking the action button from this view also just either zooms in or out.

can you possibly post a video of marking a putt using the epix gen 2?

Hi Cody,

can you please double check/confirm marking putt locations is available on the epix gen 2? I have that software installed that you mentioned. The action button (top right) does not mark putts in green view.

I’ve marked a few putts on the S70 but can’t find where the stats show up on the Garmin Golf app or online.

Garmin has answered this in the forum.

The marking of putt locations and flag location will not be used by Garmin in any statistics or data. The only option for that data still remains the CT10 on a putter at a minimum.

I've asked Garmin, why invest in this change to allow users to enter putt locations and flag locations when none of that data is used in statistics. No reply or explanation from Garmin.

That being said, the data is being collected and saved.

If you look at a PAR3, you will see the pin is moved to the location marked and the first putt location is marked as well. So they are collecting it, showing it post round but not using it for stats.

Marking the location of the first putt should atleast mean that your approach shot will get a correct distance reading,

Wouldnt distance to flag on your approach shot be an interesting stat to track? Seems like a strange decision by Garmin.

Yes. You need $$$ put on the CT10 to get better putting data....
All this could be done just using the watch, but then why would people buy CT10?
It's a simple business matter: Garmin still want to make $$$ from CT10

Again, this doesn’t work. Going into green view while on green I can move pin. Then, when you click action button, it simply zooms in. I posted about this months ago with no answer.
