Way too many... My wife picks up balls that she finds while I'm playing. She knows the brands that I like. When we get home she cleans them all and puts the ones that I prefer in my bag. She has a collection of balls that she likes. She also has a separate bag of balls that I give to friends.

I absolutely love my Garmin Fenix 7. I'm not good enough to need an exact distance to the pin. Distance to the center of the green is good enough for me. I use the Fenix for so much more than just golf, so it serves many purposes for me. A rangefinder only does one thing.

I am also very happy with the performance of my Garmin (Fenix 7). I played a round with a friend in February that has the whole Apple setup with the "Ultra" watch. I laughed at his two-day battery life! My distances from the green also seemed to be much more accurate while on the course. He would have distances that were up to 40 yards off when compared to the markers in the fairway! I use my watch for many activities aside from golf- hiking and biking are my favorites. I love that Garmin has so many features and no monthly fees.

My instructor charges $50 per lesson. No time limit. He works with somebody until they have the concept figured out. My last lesson was nearly two hours. He was getting frustrated, but I finally figured out what he was trying to tell me, so in the end we were both smiling.

Yeah, for some reason the other day my watch started on hole #6 and I ended up with a 400 yard shot with my 3W. I edited that out when I reviewed my card and shots the next day. That took my average distance for that club back down to where it should be.

I'm a Garmin user! (I have the Fenix 7 Solar) Garmin IS GPS, so distances are spot on. It tracks all of my shots. I don't have the sensors, but the watch asks which club you used after each shot, so that's nice and simple. I love going back through the round later and looking at all of the shots on the hole maps. It gives me all of the stats like fairways hits, GIR, and strokes gained. Personally, I like the caddy features that suggests which club to use. I also use it for mountain biking, hiking, and walking. It has LOTS of features and NO monthly fees! Oh, and battery life? 18 days per charge. Has it helped my golf game? Yes, some. It has helped me identify things that I need to work on. It has definitely helped with knowing how far I actually hit my clubs. For me it's edutainment. Educational as well as entertaining. I love maps and data, so it gives me all of that. One more thing to note- all of this stuff works even if you don't have a data connection.

They sent me a coupon for $450 off an Epix watch. (basically 50% off!) I don't know if everybody got that coupon or not. I'm not going to use it because I love my Fenix. The Epix is an incredible watch, though. DM me if you'd like the code.

Send a feature request to Garmin about showing the satellite view on the hole maps. I've sent requests for biking features and they were added within a month! I'll send a request for the satellite view as well. Here's the website to submit feature requests. https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=New9lrmYqn31dnFvY72EZ7&searchQuery=garmin ideas

I complain when the temperature is above 80!!! I saw 115 on the thermometer one time when we were in California. That's miserable.

Congrats on the promotion! Welcome to the Garmin family!!! DM me if you're interested in following each other on Garmin.

YES!!! Peanut Butter M&Ms!!! NOT Peanut, but peanut butter! Those are definitely my favorites!

I've honestly never even paid that close of attention. I will next time I play a round, though. I have noticed differences on distance when comparing the watch to the distance shown on scorecards and even the sign at the tee box of holes. I have more confidence in what the watch shows in that case since tees move slightly over time.

Yep. It's not too bad when the two holes are going the same direction. I feel worse when they run in opposite directions and you're shooting at each other. FORE!!!!

Yep, I can feel your pain. There are times that I'm on the wrong fairway. I sometimes tell myself- at least I'm in a fairway...
