Newbie Question:  In order for the GPS function on the S62 to work properly during a round AND have each shot record on the golf app, do I need to consistently keep my phone within the "Bluetooth range" while on the course?

Last weekend was my first time using the S62 - it kept locking up and had issues advancing to the next hole. In the end, I had to manually add several after my round (see my earlier post)... it was awful. After searching, I learned that I needed to perform an update by plugging in the S62 to my laptop.  Second time around (which was today), the S62 worked flawlessly with accurate distances and hole advancements. However, I kept my phone within the Bluetooth range (in my back pocket), because I was afraid that if my phone was out of range, my shots wouldn't record on my golf app. During my first go-around, I recall my S62 having to re-connect to my phone on multiple occasions due to each devices being out of range. I just need to know if the S62 will allow me to be out of range, in order for my shots to be recorded on my golf app. Thanks in advance.
