Garmin Golf App

The Garmin Golf app allows you to upload scorecards from your vívoactive 5 device to view detailed statistics
and shot analyses. Golfers can compete with each other at different courses using the Garmin Golf app. More
than 43,000 courses have leaderboards that anyone can join. You can set up a tournament event and invite
players to compete.
The Garmin Golf app syncs your data with your Garmin Connect account. You can download the Garmin Golf
app from the app store on your phone (garmin.com/golfapp).
The safety and tracking features are supplemental features and should not be relied on as a primary method to
obtain emergency assistance. The Garmin Connect app does not contact emergency services on your behalf.
Incident detection is not available when the watch is in wheelchair mode.
To use the safety and tracking features, the vívoactive 5 watch must be connected to the Garmin Connect app
using Bluetooth technology. Your paired phone must be equipped with a data plan and be in an area of network
coverage where data is available. You can enter emergency contacts in your Garmin Connect account.
