Disc golf as an activity

[Mudmedics]

Hi there... I play disc golf regularly and want to be able to track the impact and totals I achieve while disc golfing. I want to keep it separate from ball golf. Any chance to get disc golf added as an activity? Thanks!

Hi @Mudmedics 

There's a different forum where users can submit suggestions & other users can vote. I found one that mentioned disc golf: https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Product-Feedback/Add-Disc-Golf-as-a-SmartTrack-activity/idi-p/486360... 

In the meantime, you should be able to manually start the exercise & use generic "workout" when you play disc golf. You should then go into the Fitbit app & change the name from "Workout" to "Disc golf" so you can track it separately.

@RiekoC Thanks for your help. Top!

Please note that disc golf is not yet in our database. Therefore, as RiekoC wrote, you either start it as a generic workout and then rename it, or you will have to create a custom activity. This is the first step.

Then you let your Fitbit device recognize your training automatically. Only specific workouts are auto-tracked (Which activities does my Fitbit device track automatically?), but a general workout is typically tracked as a "sports". You can then rename or re classify this training. Tap on the automatically recorded workout to see the details. At the top right you have a pencil icon. Tap to edit the workout. Then you can change the type of training. Once you have created "disc golf" as a custom activity, you can select that when you edit the activity. 

I suggest you up vote the link provided by RiekoC in the post above. Our team is constantly checking these suggestions and looking for new ideas to improve our products, thanks in advance.
