Can't turn off scoring

If you're getting prompted to enter a score or putts on the green even though you have turned off Scoring, it sounds like you may have Stat Tracking enabled. To turn Stat Tracking off, hold the Button, then tap Golf Settings, then tap Stat Tracking to turn it off. Let us know how it goes.

Hi, 

I already have stat tracking off.

Scoring, stat tracking and club prompt are all off bit still get ask to enter score.

I'm sending you a PM to request some info we'll need to investigate this issue.

Yes I have the same issue. Just bought my S40 about 3 months ago.

Hi RMSchroder, Garmin told me that this was a known issue and that I should get in touch with Garmin Australia to arrange a replacement. I did that, with no hassles at all and received a replacement watch.

The only problem is that the replacement watch does exactly the same thing.

I'd be keen to hear if you find a solution.

I believe it is a software issue. Support had me reset default and start over. It still does the same thing. But when I start to play, I simply Turn ON the Scoring then Turn Off the Scoring and it then works.

Thanks.

So just to confirm. You:

Select the golf app

Select course and tees

Then turn on scoring 

Then turn off scoring 

Then hit your first shot

Is that the order?

That is correct. Once your S40 is ready for play, press the button and look at the screen where it has Change Hole. If under Change Hole it says SCORECARD, you are in the SCORING Mode. If it says START SCORING you are NOT in the SCORING Mode.
