Five years ago, a close relative dragged me onto a golf course for the first time. Until that moment, I honestly thought golf was something people picked up after retirement, and not something for me. But, that bias disappeared almost instantly. What I discovered was a game that demands incredible focus, discipline, and mental strength. Looking back, I wish I’d found golf even earlier, especially during the years when I was playing football at the highest level in Germany. Today, sport is still a huge part of my life, whether I’m running, cycling, or stepping onto the course, but nothing challenges my mind the way golf does. The concentration and mental resilience it requires has a way of influencing everything else I do in life.

Jannes Werner, 25, is a Berlin-based athlete and creator. He played elite youth football in Germany for 13 years as part of the Union Berlin academy, then continued his journey on a football scholarship in the United States. Today he channels that performance mindset into endurance and skill sports, with a focus on running, golf and cycling.

When I play, there are really two versions of me out on the course. There’s the relaxed version, the one who shows up with friends, takes reckless lines just to see what happens, and laughs when a ridiculous shot somehow ends up perfect… or absolutely nowhere near the fairway. Those rounds remind me why I fell in love with the game in the first place: the creativity, the freedom, the chaos you secretly enjoy.

And then there’s the competitive version of me, the one who tightens the focus, feels every heartbeat on every swing, and tries to find out how far I can actually push myself.

No matter which mode I’m in, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro’s golf features are always part of my game. That’s what I love about it: the golf mode is built for everyone, from complete beginners to serious players, so it adapts perfectly whether I’m messing around with friends or chasing a personal best with full intensity. For me, it has become a natural part of how I approach every round.

“HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro has completely changed my approach on the course, making every round smarter and more enjoyable. It’s a gift I’d happily give to a friend or family member who plays golf.”

Getting Started: Setting Up Golf Mode

Before I step up to the tee, I take a moment to download the courses I’m about to play into the HUAWEI Health App. It became part of my little pre-round ritual. My favorites from around the world are always ready on my wrist, including my home course in Berlin Prenden.

Having the course saved on my watch is like having a caddie on my wrist: I get precise yardages to the middle of the green and a complete hole overview, so I can eliminate guesswork, keep my phone in the bag, and swing with confidence—even on courses I’m seeing for the first time. In the app, I can review each hole in detail, including the key trouble spots I’ll need to manage during the round. It’s a small feature, but it gives me a real sense of preparedness and a clear picture of what’s ahead.

On the Course: Play Smarter with Golf Mode

For me, golf has always been as much a mental discipline as a physical one. Planning each shot, reading the course, and maintaining focus are what make every round both demanding and rewarding. Especially on courses I don’t know, it makes a huge difference to have a clear view of the hole layout and precise yardages to hazards.

The handling on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro itself is as intuitive as it is straightforward: I simply select the course I’m playing, choose which nine I’m going to play (front or back), and then pick my tee box – yellow, white, or red.

One of the features I rely on most is course mode, which provides detailed maps and tee-off data. It shows how far and straight I’m hitting my drives, helping me make smarter decisions on each hole. The half-round summary gives a quick snapshot of what’s going well and what needs to be adjusted, so I can stay focused and improve as the round progresses. Features like mistouch prevention and AI Caddie, which recommends clubs based on my playing style, add an extra layer of support.

When I’m practicing, driving range mode is my go-to. It offers simple analytics on distance and consistency without the pressure of being on the course, making it ideal for refining technique. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro ties it all together, providing all these tools right on my wrist so I can leave my phone behind and stay fully in the game.

For me, the two modes complete each other: range mode sharpens my basics, and course mode lets me put them to work where it really counts.

After the Round: Review, Reflect and Improve

One of the most valuable parts of golf mode is the detailed match breakdown. After each round, I can see my scores, shot patterns, and club choices laid out clearly. Seeing exactly where I hit the ball on every hole makes it much easier to understand what went well and what needs improvement. It also shows which decisions, especially club selection led to better results .

Having the course saved on my watch is like having a caddie on my wrist: [...] I can eliminate guesswork, keep my phone in the bag, and swing with confidence—even on courses I’m seeing for the first time.

In the HUAWEI Health App, the workout history gives me even deeper look on how I’m actually playing. I can review my swing consistency, shot distances, and even how my ball flight changes over time. This helps me set clear goals, whether I’m trying to be more accurate off the tee or sharpen my approach shots, and ensures I’m always learning from my previous rounds. Having a visual reflection of my game is something I genuinely enjoy.

As an absolute sports enthusiast, the health features of the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro are just as important to me as its golf functions. I use it to keep an eye on my heart rate and stress levels — especially in those high-pressure moments, like standing on the final hole of a tournament with everything on the line. When the watch shows that my stress level is rising, I start a guided breathing exercise directly on the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro to reset and stay focused. At night, I rely on its sleep and recovery insights to see how well I actually rest, which helps me adjust my routine so I stay balanced and ready both mentally and physically for the next game.

Conclusion

Using the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Pro has genuinely changed how I play golf. It makes every round more enjoyable by taking care of the small details, like distance measurements, club suggestions, and score tracking, so I can stay focused on my game. The insights from course mode and swing analysis show me exactly where I’m improving and where I need work. On top of that, the health and recovery features keep me balanced, helping me manage stress and stay in peak condition both on and off the course. Overall, the watch makes golf simpler, smarter, and more fun, allowing me to fully enjoy every shot while constantly pushing my performance forward.
