Garmin recently announced a free soft­ware update for its pop­u­lar Approach G5 golf GPS sys­tem. The update will allow users to track key stats for their round. This new func­tion­al­ity fur­ther builds on the Garmin Approach G5 being one of the best golf GPS sys­tems avail­able today.

Fair­ways hit, greens hit in reg­u­la­tion, putts per round and how far you hit each club can now be tracked on the Approach G5. Track­ing your stats is essen­tial to improv­ing your game.  Track­ing and ana­lyz­ing your stats tells you exactly what area of your game to con­cen­trate on at the prac­tice range.

These new fea­tures are built upon the Approach G5’s exist­ing score­card func­tion­al­ity. You can track the addi­tional stats for one or mul­ti­ple play­ers of your four­some. Answer­ing two addi­tional ques­tions per hole is all that is required to take advan­tage of the new stat tracking.
