Golf problems - why no manual activation in autoshot?

Sold my S60 and FR245 - as I wanted one watch to do all of the things I love: Running and golfing.

Really happy about the run parts of FR945 - but it's annoying that it cannot registrer my golf drives off the tee. I think it's one out of 5 it registrers. I swing pretty fast (+100 mph) and hit it solid most of the time.

It doesn't make any sense, since the watch can registrer dead lifts, bench press, pull ups - why not a drive? The different sensors should easily pick up a swing.

To me it's a fundamental programming issue.

The watch knows when I am on the tee - so it should be able to registrer any swings and then start the counter.

OR - why not a manual start of the counter - it should be a really easy thing to fix.

Why is this so important? It's not just a funny stat thing. If I hit a shot out into the rough it's a huge help to me to know what length I should be looking for the ball in. Also when I'm helping others to find their ball - we used the same tee, so my watch can actually speed up the game a lot - and lower my score when this function is working.

I really hope you will make a permanent solution to the autoshot problems. I've had them with Fenix 3 also. S60 was good at this part of the game.
