Correcting Golf Club Stats in the Garmin Golf App and Garmin Connect

The Average Distance and Max Distance can sometimes report incorrectly for a specific club under Club Stats in the Garmin Golf™ app or in the Gear section in the Garmin Connect™ website. This data is pulled directly from your saved scorecards and more specifically from the hole-by-hole data recorded by AutoShot on your compatible Garmin® device.

NOTE: Garmin uses a proprietary calculation to achieve accurate club averages. We utilize a percentile system which allows us to more closely estimate the average distance for different clubs in your bag. Our calculation does automatically remove erroneous shot data with certain clubs such as half shots and misreads from the Garmin golf compatible device with the Approach® CT1 or Approach® CT10 club tracking sensors.

Correcting AutoShot Data

There are multiple ways to correct AutoShot data if enough erroneous shots skew the averages or provide an incorrect max distance. Review the options below to determine which best fits your scenario.

• Review the hole-by-hole data in each scorecard until you locate the incorrect shot or shots that are causing the inaccurate data. This will most often present itself in the form of an abnormally high distance in the Max Distance category. Edit or remove that shot and that will correct the Max Distance for that club. For more details see - Editing AutoShot Information With the Garmin Golf App.

• Use the 'Retire' club function on the Garmin Connect website, or turn off the 'Active' indicator on the Garmin Golf app to remove that specific club. You will lose the historical data tied to that club, but upon adding the club back, the Max Distance and Average Distance will reset allowing you to start fresh with new and correct data. For more details see - Add, Edit, or Remove Golf Clubs for Your Garmin Golf Product. 

• Use the 'Exclude Scorecard from Stats' option within the Garmin Connect app or Garmin Connect website. In the instance where multiple shots are contributing to incorrect data from a single scorecard, this option can be selected in order to exclude all of the data from that individual scorecard. This option prevents that scorecard data from affecting the Average Distance and Max Distance categories. For more details see - Understanding Scorecards in the Garmin Golf App.
