Golf shot tracking

Iant.. 2 months ago

Shot tracking still isn't working,unless you restart the watch after starting the round of golf.

I have reported this in both beta and on here but because Garmin can't answer the question they lock the topic so you can't comment on it.

I am having the same issue. I upgraded from an Epix gen 2 that worked well. The new Fenix (Purchased at Christmas 2024) was working until about 2 -3 weeks ago mid-late May 2025, and now the shot tracking…

I've been telling Garmin for nearly 6 weeks that it's an issue but they've chosen to ignore it,now they seem to be taking notice.

I’m also having this issue , I recently upgraded from epic gen 2 pro and that worked great, kinda dissapointing to go to the better watch and have a worse experience

Same issue for me - just updated to 15.31 and shot tracking has stopped working. I don’t recall signing up to any beta version either.

Accelerometer still working apparently as works when I do the one off “Measure Shot” function.

Do we know if there is a resolution yet?

I am on a fenix 8 solar with the newest 15.31 and my shot tracking and swing tempo trainer are both not working. Was working last week before I updated. I did not participate in the beta.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon,I have been telling them for weeks there's an issue but they have chosen to ignore it.

Tested above and works with the exception of:

Once your watch reboots, you will see a pop-up appear on-screen asking if you would like to resume, save or discard the round that was started before the watch was powered off > Select "Resume".

When the watch restarted, "Resume, save or discard" was not an option. I had to start the activity as new again but shot tracking did work.

When the watch restarts I start the golf app and as soon as it's got a gps lock it asks me if I want to resume or discard.

I tested this workaround last night as well and had the same exact experience. No resume round prompt when the watch restarted and golf activitiy launched, but tracking did work.
