Distance measure using CT10s

Firstly I’m new to the Garmin golf watch so please be patient with me. To automatically save distances using the CT10s does my watch have to be set to scoring mode?
Also once I’ve selected a club and then played the ball when I approach where the ball landed and take out another club does the watch automatic record the previous distance on do 8 need to press the watch?

hope I made myself clear

thanks

Chris

That's one reason you really want a CT10 on your putter and wedges as the swing detection for those is much better with a CT10. I'm not 100% sure if you need to be scoring for it to learn your club distances, but I suspect you do as you probably need a score card to upload to GC.

The one thing you'll want to be careful with is if you are carrying multiple CT10 clubs in one hand, I've occasionally gotten false positives (incorrectly detected hits). So just be careful not to be banging them around. Tapping the green with your putter is another place I've occasionally seen false positives.
