I know everyone know this but felt like a small nudge to Microsoft was warranted.
It's golf season now, I hope this update comes soon, before season is over.
We all don't live in areas with golf year round.

LOL. I was just about to post, I hope it comes before golf season is over. Lets get moving MS.

Just talked to Microsoft support agent, Golf tile may be here by the end of the week. Of course they said there may be other delays, but that sounds like it's very close to me.

just received the update!

Got the update but when trying to add the Golf tile via Microsoft Health App it says band error and stops. Turning Golf off allows it to update ok. Real pain.

So I live in Canada and it has no courses. That's a major disappointment!!!

Same here. Such a tease! Looks like it will be pretty amazing. Can't wait till they sort it out.

How did you get the update? Was it firmware update? I have noticed that there is a Taylor Made connection now available under connected apps, but nothing on MSB tile wise.

Since I am on iOS, probably just late...

Installed and it looks fully functional on Android -- no trouble locating/loading local courses. Looks pretty sexy on the Band too. *sigh* Too bad I don't golf!

I wonder if I can add miniature golf courses?!?!?!?! LOL

I'm on iOS how do I get the update. Nothing showing up

I am also on iOS- had not been prompted for the update. I was able to load the update through the Windows desktop app.

This said- the desktop app will not allow you to add a new tile.... My guess is that there is an iOS app update needed to show the new tile - so iOS likely won't update firmware until the new app is made available through the iOS app store. Hopefully Apple won't take too long to review / publish.

 

[golfingasu]

That was my fear. Hopefully Apple won't intentionally delay the app update.

I bet it shows up tomorrow...

Got it!

If you cannot load the golf tile, because the Band has not received the new firmware update, you can force the update by removing the MS Health app and re-installing it on your phone. No data is lost in this process but some Band preferences get reset.

One other changes is emotions now working on notifications, although I

I got it this morning on WP - but whenever I try and add the Golf Tile I just get this error: -

Band error - Something went wrong. Please try again.

Any ideas?

I was getting that until this morning when I launched MS Health app and it told me that my Band needed an update. Once that update applied (the 2nd in the last week) I was able to load the golf tile/app.
