SkyGolf "Approach Distance" Question

[ChappyEight]

I've used SkyGolf's ClubSG for a while now and I enjoy it for inputting scores and stats during my rounds. That said, the other day I got to thinking, what exactly is the "Approach Distance" measurement? Is this 1) the distance from the ball to the pin/middle of green or is it 2) the distance one hits with their approach club?

 

I've always marked it as the former (option 1) but I'm beginning to think it's actually supposed to be marked as the latter (option 2).

 

Would love for someone to set me straight on this.

 

Thanks,

Chappy

I use Skygolf's game tracking system through the LinxGT watch and that system measures the approach distance as the yardage of your exact approach shot distance as hit. Ex. I have 135 yards to the pin. I pull my 9 iron and tag it on my watch. I hit the shot and it went a little left but stayed on the green. I get to the green and I then tag the location of my next shot with the next club(putter) and that distance (137 yards from the previous tag) is measured and registered in the in the app as my approach distance. Not sure if I explained that too well hopefully I did. The idea is to record the exact distance you hit the club so you begin to get a record of distances for each club and can make better choices with club selection.

Yep, that makes perfect sense and confirms my suspicion that I've been entering it incorrectly to this point. I have the GT2 system set to arrive Friday so this info is greatly helpful. Thank you, sir.
