Venu 3, Golf App Autoshot not working

I can’t remember if there was a recent software update on my Venu 3 in the past week but I can’t get the auto shot to function using the Garmin Golf, it just stopped working literally the last couple days, anyone else having this issue or know a fix?

    Garmin Connect App was updated about the same time the auto stop quit working, I don’t know if that is coincidental or the issue

    Current update as of July 9th, 2025: 

    Garmin is currently investigating to figure out what caused this issue so that we can get it resolved more permanently. We apologize for any inconveniences that have resulted from this issue and once we have a fix released, I will update this post and users will be emailed at that time. 

    We have had some success in the meantime getting users to be able to work around the issue with the steps below. 

    1. Start a round of golf while at the course, on hole 1.
    2. As soon as the hole is displaying on the watch, press the top left button, and select power off. 
    3. Press the top left button again to power the watch back on.  After a few moments, the watch will prompt the option to resume, save, or discard the round in-progress.
    4. Select resume the round in progress and AutoShot should work as expected throughout the round.

    We recognize the above steps are not ideal, and don't consider that to be an acceptable fix, but a temporary work around so that you can record your data until we're able to get a fix in place.

    There was an update, and it stopped working immediately after. Really, really annoying

    We do not have an exact date to provide on the fix as it is still in progress.

    Power off the watch right at the beginning of the round before taking shots once the round has been started > Then power back on > The watch will prompt the option to resume the round > Begin your golf round on the actual course from there for shots to track
