Just upgraded from a Garmin Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar to a Fenix 8 Solar and running into a weird issue with golf activities.

On the Fenix 7X, golf rounds would save both:

1. a golf scorecard, and
2. a full GPS/activity file in Garmin Connect.

On the Fenix 8 Solar, it’s only saving the scorecard — not the actual activity/workout.

I already confirmed:
- “Record Activity” is ON
- GPS is active during rounds
- I’m saving the round normally at the end

Curious if this is a known Fenix 8 bug, a changed setting somewhere, or if Garmin changed golf activity behavior entirely on the newer watches.

Anyone else run into this after upgrading?
