Measuring a Shot with the Garmin AutoShot

 Feature

Your Venu device features automatic shot detection and 

recording. Each time you take a shot along the fairway, the 

device records your shot distance so you can view it later

Viewing Your Shot History

).

TIP: 

Automatic shot detection works best when you wear the 

device on your leading wrist and make good contact with the 

ball. Putts are not detected.

TIP: 

You can tap the banner to hide it for 10 seconds.

About Stableford Scoring

When you select the Stableford scoring method (

Setting the 

Scoring Method

number of strokes taken relative to par. At the end of a round, 

the highest score wins. The device awards points as specified 

by the United States Golf Association.
The scorecard for a Stableford scored game shows points 

instead of strokes.
