Activity tracker with s40

I got my S 40 for Christmas 2020 but due to covid 19 courses were closed. During this time I only used the watch when connected with garmin connect. It wasn’t top of the range for this purpose but at the end of the day that was not what I bought it for. But it still tracked steps and sleep and activities etc. When I started back to golf and connected to the golf app, I lost connection to the connect app and can’t regain connection to the connect app without first ending my connection to the golf app. Is there any way I can connect to both? It seems an awful waste that I have something on my wrist that can track activities steps and sleep but won’t let me because I’m connected to the golf ap that I use once a week. Please help. Thanks
