How do I keep Auto Shot Tracking on but stop my watch from asking me for pin positions and putt distances?
I'd like more insight on what a "pro" is. On the tour, shots gained is relative to the field. It's been challenging for me to fully utilize this data. I've had rounds where I've felt I drove it really well previous to another round and more shots gained went down. Vice versa I've had rounds I thought my approach game wasn't great and gained more shots. Maybe I'm just not that smart.
You need a strokes gained for amateurs that is based on par and not the field. This would also take in the tees you play from. Comparing amateurs to pros doesn't help us judge our game and where we need to improve. it would be relative to the tee you play from and the stokes would be lost or gained according to par. Parring a hole and finding out you lost .2 strokes is really dumb for the average golfer who just wants to know how they played that day.
