After using the golf app for this watch for more than a year I am giving up. It is unreliable and causes frustration on the golf course. It auto records a few shots, but it misses most.

All,
Please see our recently released beta software (15.02) for a fix addressing the item in this report. If you prefer to not install this beta software, we hope to be rolling out a public software update…
Exactly, I'm not sending them a video because Garmin can't grasp that dozens of people with the exact same issue might be a software issue on their end. Just send the fix or revert it to a previous version…
I'll chime in here as well, I have the same problems as all the rest of you. If you go into the Garmin golf app you can also see the shots are not recorded. I play about 3 times a week and the last…
I can try to get you videos when I play this weekend. I don’t know what that will do, I can describe exactly what happens. It only detects tee shots. No irons, hybrids, wedges, etc. I already gave…
Update - 08/12/2025
All,
We have released a fix in the latest software release (15.05) that should resolve the report for most users experiencing these symptoms. The software release should continue rolling out to all users in the coming days. If you are still experiencing symptoms like the original report here, please start a new thread.
Yes to 1,2,4. I will have to check if it the scoring option is specifically chosen every time I start a new round. I do enter my score after each hole and can see my scores per hole on the app after I saved a round. I use the default watch face which came pre installed with the watch.
I never normally have this issue but playing today the watch only recorded one shot taken so the shots map on the app is empty except one hole. I also noticed it was no longer showing the distance of my shots taken whilst playing,
I am having the same issue, worked very reliably before the update. Love the new golf features, but auto-shot appears very intermittent.
This happened to me last Saturday (was working fine the week before). I reset the watch, it worked for the front 9, didn’t work for the back 9.
Answers to the questions:
1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. yes
5. no - using one of the default watch faces with the watch.
I also found that it is also not giving me any distances to hazards, option greyed out
