Golf app auto-shot detection not working with 6.00

Has anyone else had an issue with the golf auto-shot detection after 6.00 upgrade? It was working great before but didn't detect 1 shot over 36 holes the last 2 days after upgrading to 6.00. It detected over 90% of my shots on 5.40. Garmin support said that they haven't had any other reports of this issue. All other features seem to work great. I ran 8 miles yesterday using navigation and it was flawless. Thanks

    Tried it out yesterday With my New fenix 5x. Did not work either. Was told to swing my Club to start, however no respons.
  • So, it appears to be a new issue with 6 and 6.71. I?m bummed as it worked awesome before. I hope you guys contacted Garmin. They said there were no reports of this when I called.
  • The answer from the support

    Hello Thomas,

    We are aware of an issue affecting the 6.00 software and 6.71 beta software that prevents autoshot detection from functioning properly. Our Engineering team is working on a software fix, and we should have this resolved within the 1-2 weeks. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
  • Thanks for the update ThomasK72! That?s very encouraging to hear their acknowledgement and that they may have a fix shortly!

    Garmin Support - we're now into December and I'm yet to see a firmware update for Fenix 5 (my watch is still on version 6.00) and your post to ThomasK72 suggested that a fix for the broken golf auto shot feature would be released within 1-2 weeks. That was now nearly 2 months ago. Please get this fixed for goodness' sake, one of the main reasons I purchased the Fenix 5 was for the golfing feature, this is getting beyond a joke. Also, I cannot seem to find the 6.75 beta release that has been mentioned by one of your support team in a similar thread, the link on that comment doesn't work either. Just ridiculous. I love my Fenix 5, but would never recommend Garmin products on the basis that you produce lovely devices that are totally let down by useless buggy software!
