Venu 3 golf app not recording shots

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.

    I'm the same on a Forerunner 955. Started after either an update or my connect+ trial expired. Assuming due to a few having this issue it is a sw issue?

    I never recorded which club I was using, but would always use the feature that counted off the yardage from the previous shot location to help me find roughly where my ball would be if I didn't hit the fairway. Really missing that feature now, and nothing I've done the previous few weeks seems to have worked. Toggled all the settings in the golf app on the watch, tried various settings on the Garmin Golf app on my phone. Disconnected and repaired the watch with my phone, tried to select a club, tried the record shot feature, etc.

    Really hope this is fixed sometime soon, the golf season is rather short here, would hate to need to switch to a different product.

    Update on my end. It seems to work fine for my 9 hole rounds when i shut down the watch for a few minutes then power back on before ii go to the course. Still misses some short chips and always putts, but otherwise works as expected. But i need to remember to shut down completely before the round. Not ideal and not sure if it will last for a full 18, but at least it’s working for the most part.

    Same here. If I turn off the watch and turn it back on before the round, it seems to work fine. When I turn it back on, and start the golf app it does download the course again. It no longer asks what club I used nor if I hit the fairway and it doesn’t track my round as a workout (even though I walk the whole round and carry my clubs, although it used to track even when I had a cart). It worked for a full 18 but did get glitchy on the last hole (missed the fairway shot after my drive).

    Update: today it worked well over 18 holes, butt I wonder if I can rely on in future.

    I think this is why they're having trouble reproducing the issue because it's sporadic.
