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.

Updated May 27th, 2025:
Garmin is in the process of reviewing reports from users with the fenix 8 experiencing concerns with Golf AutoShot detection after installing version 15 during the beta program…
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…
Also having this issue with shot tracking on a new Fenix 8. Tempo training does not register either.
FW 15.31, Rebooted the watch at home, drove to the golf course and started my round. Shot tracking worked. I'm assuming as long as you reboot the watch before the golf round it will work. I played 2 rounds that way and didn't have issues with shot tracking.
Would be interested in hearing about more situations like this. I myself haven't been able to do more rounds to try to test if a reset is required each time immediately, a little before....or if I can get multiple rounds out of a single reset.
I'm guessing garmin is seeing mixed results which could be making difficult to diagnose and fully resolve. Still would have like to see the ability to revert back to the previous software.
Played last night and did the usual just before teeing off,start the round ,restart the watch then start round again but once it gets a GPS fix it asks if I want to resume round.
I resume and the shot tracking works as normal.
Having the same issue. Played bethpage black on Wednesday and couldn't shot track. Just discovered this thread. Please please fix!
Cody, having the same issue with the shot tracking not working. Very frustrating, my buddy bought the approach s70 and has no problems at all.
I am having the same issue on a Tactix 8 Solar.
I was finally able to go out again. Tried a round WITHOUT doing the work around reset and shot tracker worked. I did have to do a reset the round before as the issue was present then but wanted to test to see if I could do a second round without doing work around.
So so far after doing the 1 watch reset I have two good rounds.
Not sure if others have tried to do multiple rounds after a single reset per the work around instructions. But wanted to give my update.
