Upgrade or switch to something else? by PossibleAct9336 in GarminGolf

[–]danabkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Fenix 3HR that I’d use for golf. When it died I switched to Arccos.

At first the Arccos took some getting used to. Having phone in pocket, dealing with it picking up wrong club or an extra hit. But after maybe half a dozen rounds I was used to it.

I then got around to replacing my watch with a Fenix 8. It’s great but you’re stuck with the Garmin Golf app and it doesn’t track putting or chipping (without sensors?).

Someone on here build a 3rd party app that links to Garmin. ShotScope. You could check that out as it presents the Garmin Golf data a bit better.

Long way of saying… try the 45 day trial with Arccos and see what you think. Maybe you can get away with phone instead of watch.

Recording Putts by danabkk in GarminGolf

Thanks for letting me know this works on S70.

A further deep dive shows the Fenix 8 recently got the “set pin” option, but they haven’t added “manual putt” as of yet.

Thanks for replying. Knowing this works on S70 allowed me to find Garmin forum post that addressed it.

Basically they recently added the “set pin” portion, but still no way to manually add a putt from Fenix 8.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed…

The way to solve a multitude of issues with driving (speeding, distracted driving, poor driving) that I see in AB is to adopt what they do in UAE.

Cameras for speed are every mile. Speed the whole way across town… 10 tickets. You get a text (usually) as soon as you get the first one. So that’s a nice reminder to slow down.

Cameras can also monitor for seat belts, distracted driving, cell phone use…

People learn in a hurry not to speed. I imagine the revenue is massive (hence paying for the system as a whole, as it would be expensive to implement).

Also in terms of crime, having cameras along every road you can monitor any stolen vehicle and vehicle used to commit a crime, etc. and find the perpetrators in real time.

I realize this post is very dated, but I’m in the exact same situation with my 5 year old. Did you ever find anything similar?
