Golf Distance Auto Shot Banner Issues after v23.00 Software

Since the update to the latest Software on my fenix 6 (v23) the golf distance banner at the top of the screen has been replaced by a hole number and the par of the hole

I really like this feature how do I get it back ,

Did a few tests today, mixed results but consistent results.

In my previous round after updating f/w to 23.02, my GF6XPS detected autoshot distances flawlessly. After round, I exited the Golf app.

Same issue. No shot detection at all since this version was released. 1 of 2 primary reasons for buying this watch over competitors. How does something like this get through testing!? It's completely broke…

Yesterdays round on some occasions the golf shot distance wasnt displayed. I noticed it happened only when a golfshot wasnt recorded or when I forgot to enter the number of putts and penalties.

a so you are saying that you are using the CT10's and they don't record either? I just ordered them because off this issue.

Hi,

You can only get it through GARMIN EXPRESS.

Cheerz ;^)

As said by other, you need to enroll, or ask for someone here that have the same watch model like you. The gpupdate.gcd file is downloaded and stored on the computer during Garmin Express update

So worked yesterday and i played today but didnt to a reset today so no shot tracking till i restarted mis round

Fenix 6 Pro golfer here. Autoshot with distance tracking broke upon 23.0. 10 days ago they had me perform a "hard reset" ugh, and it fixed the issue for a round or two. My last 2 rounds the autoshot didn't work upon starting the round. I power cycled the watch on the 2nd hole and autoshot started working again. I wish they'd do a better job regression testing--- autoshot has worked flawless for me over the last 70 rounds the last 2 seasons until 23.0.

Today I contacted support to open a bug report. They said they are aware and will notify me when there is a fix.

Same here, worked for a round or 2 after hard reset then broke again. If I reboot the watch it works for the rest of the round. Bug report submitted to Garmin.

I have the Fenix 6 Pro too. I have to start a round and hard reset the watch to get shot tracking. My annoyance is it also keeps asking which club I used. This is fine but the Garmin club range is stuck in the dark ages. No hybrids, no 5 wood and no selection of varying degree wedges.

I was able to turn off club prompts and still have autoshot working. But again only after I start a round, confirm autoshot is NOT working and then end round. Simple power cycle off/on and then start round of golf again making sure it's on the proper hole. It's a pita--- till they fix it I may start the watch on the range and confirm if autoshot is working or not so I can have it working on the #1 tee box.

With regard to club range, you should be able to update your equipment list on a computer at "connect.garmin.com" and then go to the "Gear" section and change out your clubs.
