Double tap to mark hole location doesn’t work

Joker 10 days ago

Hello, after 22.06 update double tap function stopped working. The next update 22.07 didn’t fix it. So is it a bug or am I missing something?

The flag icon on-screen must be moved manually to the location relative to the green shape in green view. Double tapping to mark the flag location will only result in a putt being marked.

You must use…

Are seeing the confirmation on the screen showing "putt location marked" after double tapping the upper right side button when the watch is zoomed into green view while you are standing on the green?

Or are you seeing the alert for putt location showing marked on the watch...but not seeing the putts displaying on your scorecard after syncing the round over?

It is not about putts marking. It works.

It's about the current flag/hole position.

I used to double-tap the display when I removed the flag from the hole to mark the current position. Now, a double tap just activates manual flag positioning.

You must use the touch screen where the flag is displayed (or dot that the flag icon turns into). You mark your putt location when you are standing in the location where you are putting. Your icon is marked by the location icon on the screen separately.

None of this has been changed with any of the recent updates.

Playing a round now and both features are working - action button to mark putt and double tap on screen to mark flag location

edit: added "on screen"

So after single tapping the Action key when on the green, you are seeing the "Putt Location Marked" and then when you double-tap the action key on the green you are seeing another alert showing "Hole Location Marked" or "Flag Location Marked" ?

Yes that's correct for the putt. One press on the action key.
To set the flag location you double tap the screen (not the action key)
