Display cumulative score and stroke count during round on S70?

Hi guys, I know there's a popular feature request to turn OFF the cumulative score during a round (on the app?)... but I am weird. Is it possible to do the following?

  • See the cumulative round score and stroke count on the S70's main GOLF screen during a round, without going into Scorecard or waiting until 9/18 holes have been completed... or is there a shortcut instead of having to go to Options > scrolling to Scorecard?   I don't think I can use the scorecard on the app during a round right?
  • See number of strokes taken so far for the current hole quickly

All of the above affect my decision in terms of how much risk to take. For example, I'm on a par 5, 17th hole and I'm on stroke 3, and I'm behind on match play. Rather than trying to just minimise risk/score for a par, I may risk going for a hero shot instead!

On the other hand, if I know I'm ahead and want to maintain it, I may play more conservatively (low risk) to ensure a consistent finish.

Thank you :) 

EDIT: Did the recent software update change it so that the cumulative stroke count is displayed on the watch's scorecard during a round, e.g. 17 (+2)? Not sure if I missed it before as I've just noticed it is now there.

    Currently the scorecard menu is the only way to quick reference the cumulative score, or when turning from 9 to 18. 

    The scorecard in the app can be used during the round if you are wanting to use the live scoring feature outlined on the Garmin Support page here: Live Scoring in the Garmin Golf App

    Thanks . I was unaware of the Live Scoring feature as my golfing partner and I tried it on our Garmins a few months ago and we don't recall it working. Tried it last week and I can see the Live Scores syncing after finishing each hole. It kind of works but sometimes doesn't sync.

    I noticed on the map view in the Golf App during a round, that it does not appear to be sync the tracked shots. The map is blank and only after the round is finished, I am able to see the shots on the map. Is that the correct functionality? Therefore, I won't be able to:
