RE: Tee shots location 'Rough' instead of 'Tee Box'

Jimte — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 16:24:14 GMT

Hi Garmin - SP, thanks for reaching out to me personally. Today's round had about 70-80% from the 'Rough'. I changed all after the round in the Garmin Golf app. Any news on this?

Tee shots location 'Rough' instead of 'Tee Box'

Jimte — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 09:09:42 GMT

After yesterday's round I noticed that almost all my shots from the tee box were registered with Lie Type 'Rough'. This results in incorrect stats :(

It looks like this was because the tee boxes are very small and do not represent the real size of the tee boxes (as can be see in the birdiebook and on Google Maps). Quite a hassle to change this manually to 'Tee box' or change the location to the tee box, which then automatically changes the Lie Type to 'Tee Box'.

Do other people also experience this? I.e. are there more courses that have tiny teeboxes in the Garmin app that are not in-line with the real size?

A few solutions I could think off besides the courses/Garmin having to re-do the maps.

1. Every first shot of the hole = Tee Shot

2. Make it easier to change the shot types (e.g. overview page of the course with drop-downs)

3. .... I'm pretty sure there are other smart ways to solve this

Hi, I'm wondering whether it's possible to earn a golf badge on the Garmin Golf app without a compatible device. Can I achieve this by logging my activities manually? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

After round shot maps not displayed and no option to display

After round shot data is not displayed and no option available in iOS. Scorecard is displayed though. Garmim firmware is current. Before the newest update, I could see shot data

Thanks for reaching out, just sent my app logs and a reply with screenshots (similar to the screenshots that LJ157 has shared) and the courses I recently played. Basically all the courses have multiple Tee box shots that have Lie Type 'rough'. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Hi, if you look in magnification of the pictures where your drive starts, then you can see before the white line a darker green rectangle, that's the tee box.

It looks like, that the registered starting point of your drive does not match with tee point. I have it also on my shot cards. Maybe Garmin has to make the tee box area greater...

LJ157 - Just a heads up that we didn't forget about you and I've joined your thread with this one having the same experience. I'm also going to reach out to you momentarily (via email) to gather some additional info, so please be on the lookout for that message soon.

I am having the same issue. I can see the score card, but no the shot maps. I record my round using Garmin S70, on a iPhone 16 with golf app version 3.9.0.2

Garmin - SP — Fri, 07 Aug 2026 18:04:13 GMT

Thank you for sharing that 6251209 . I sent you an email to get additional information so we can look into this on the new 3.8 version. **

notice there’s not an included shot map, running version 3.9

RE: After round shot maps not displayed and no option to display

Garmin - JH — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 18:01:04 GMT

Hello everyone, this issue should've been resolved with the Golf App version 3.80. If you haven't verified, please make sure you're using 3.80 or newer, and if you continue to have this problem, please post some screenshots of what you're seeing in this thread.

aerial map failed to load

i'm having this issue. black screen on historic shot maps. it only happens with one course i play. i am able to see the aerial footage on the website. it only fails on my iphone.

is there a fix? i tried deleting the app many times

RE: aerial map failed to load

I’m not certain, but most likely the app is failing to load cached map data for that specific course on iOS. Try Settings → General → iPhone Storage, select the app, and clear its data/cache before reinstalling—it often resolves black‑screen issues. KPERS login

RE: Editing Shots post round with CT10 tags

Garmin - DC — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 18:36:02 GMT

Hi there, you are able to edit the AutoShot information that is recorded by the CT10 sensors. Here is a great article on how to correct the information recorded by AutoShot: Correcting Golf Club Stats in the Garmin Golf App and Garmin Connect

Editing Shots post round with CT10 tags

cshawncarr — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:57:27 GMT

Hello

I'm considering adding CT10 tags back, as Garmin released an update in May that allows post-round editing of putts and pin location.

I wanted to ask, if I edit a pin location or a shot that was caught by the CT10 tag, would that change be reflected in the performance stats? Previously, edits made to shots picked up by the CT10 tag didn't change the performance stats. As an example, if I made a putt off the green it would really be a chip, but Garmin may pick it up as a putt, skewing my putting stats. If I moved that shot onto the green, would the performance stats correctly reflect that change?

I'm hoping for a clear answer from Garmin on this, or if someone can point me to something Garmin has already confirmed on this, that would be great.

I don't mind editing my rounds after they're complete. However, given the variability of GPS, it's important to be able to amend shots post-round and have the performance stats reflect the changes made to shots that are already recorded by the CT10 tags. I understand that Garmin doesn't want shots that are manually added without tags to count towards performance stats, so this question is solely focused on shots already picked up by the tags.

Many thanks,
Shawn

Thanks so much. I'm getting some additional eyes on this and will report back once we have a meaningful update for you.

Hello, my shot map for today’s round (8/3) had not loaded from my watch to the phone app, but all other data has, and all data from my 8/2 round the day before has loaded including shot maps.

RE: Golf shot maps

LJ157 — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 17:52:34 GMT

Here are 2 screen shots. Both tee shots are outside of the square box tht Garmin shows as a free box. Is that a mapping issue? Our tee boxes have not changed significantly in the 7 years I have been playing them. LJ

RE: Golf shot maps

LJ157 — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 13:00:12 GMT

It just seems to me the default for the 1st shot should be Tee Box regardless of map view.

RE: Golf shot maps

LJ157 — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 12:58:36 GMT

Absolutely you may view my Garmin account data and activity. I will send a few screenshots. I noticed all the tee boxes for my courses are small square areas and the holes that display rough show my location slightly outside of the small square. I do not have a premium subscription.

Recent Update to App and/or S42 Watch Terrible

3271947 — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:16:57 GMT

There appears to have been an update to either Garmin Golf iOS or my watch software (Garmin S42 with C10 sensors) that is making the stats useless. 3 problems observed:

1. The green location on the watch and the app don't match so it is constantly wrong re whether you are putting from on or off the green.

2. When you enter correct number of putts on the watch and/or the scorecard they sync with each other but the shot maps do not update to the correct # of putts. It seems this would make most of the stats wrong.

3. There has always been a modest discrepancy (1-3 strokes) between my GHIN index and Garmin's estimate (I suspect because Garmin uses men's course ratings regardless of user's gender, as I previously reported), but now it is off by about 25 strokes. I suspect (as I previously reported as a course error) that Garmin is using an 18-hole rating for a 9-hole course I play regularly so it thinks I am playing 30 under par (nice!). My GHIN is 14 but Garmin thinks I am a +10. Interestingly now that it thinks I am better than a pro golfer, my shots gained results vs my new peers (pros!) has also dramatically improved! Nice!! But useless.
