course mapping

Who do I ask to get a course remapped.  I have a few holes at my course where the flag on the watch does not represent the correct position on the green.

    The flag position will not be specifically marked on the green view, as the distance from where you are standing is linear when ranged. The flag position must be manually marked on your watch in green view from left to right for its specific position on the green. 

    Lasering the flag using the Z30 will only mark an arc overlay, but will not specifically set the location left to right on the map of the green view...as it has no concept of left or right, only distance in a straight line. 

    The concern you mentioned would not be indicative of a mapping error, so a map correction would not be needed in this instance.

    If the front and back distances are not correct for the green then where the arc is may not be on the green.  We had a pin position a few days ago where the are was showing just on the front edge of the green but the flag was closer to the middle of the green. I just think on my home course that some of the greens are just not mapped correctly.

    Are you seeing the distances to the front middle and back showing correctly when only viewing from your watch? (without lasering using the Approach Z30). 

    If just the watch is showing incorrect yardages and when you are standing on the green, if the watch is not zooming into the green view with one singular distance showing for certain holes...then I recommend submitting a golf course report through the link here: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/golf-courses/?a2=US&state=&new=false&upd=false&cnt=false&q=&addr= 

    Basing what the laser arc is showing only would not be an indication of the course map being incorrect...but if the actual mapping without the laser arc is showing incorrect, the course report process can be followed. 

    If you have examples of this with photos, and the issue is not related to the course map you are viewing solely on the watch...please direct message me and we can get some additional info from you to look into further.
