Hi,

I realized that the premium golf course take some time to be updated depending on your network coverage.

You can miss the first hole and even more if your phone struggle to find some data.

I was wondering why a tee off alarm can not be scheduled on the S44? My previous golf watch was an old one (+10 years old) and was equipped with this feature and it was very convenient because the watch automatically start the course 10min before the recorded golf time enabling you to stop your training and goes to the tee box. If Garmin enable this feature you can schedule a golf course and make sure the premium map is downloaded days before the event.

Otherwise please tell me how to download a premium map in advance if you golf course is miles away.

Cheers

    We do not recommend starting the round until you are actually located at the course. Before selecting the Golf activity app on the watch, open the Garmin Golf app on your smartphone > Tap Profile > My Devices > Then tap the circular arrow icon next to your watch to sync > Then start the round on the watch with the Garmin Golf app open on your smartphone > If contours are compatible with the course you are playing...they will then prompt to download. 

    Depending on cellular signal in the location at the time you are playing the round, the download time may vary. 

    Starting the round when you are away from the course will result in your watch going into GPS mode, draining battery needlessly, and your satellite acquisition will not be strong as you are not currently located at that course.
