With the latest update, it appears you can not longer apply settings to the golf app. When you go into application settings and select golf, you only get the ability to reorder the application. Prior you could set defaults for score keeping, autoshot, etc. I wish Garmin would make this app feature complete, on par with the X40 application or the new S60. Come on Garmin.
To find the Golf Settings, hold Up on Golf in Activity list without selecting it with the Start button. This works for all the other activity apps as well.
