Greens In Regulation (GIR) is another key golf stat that measures how often a player lands their ball on the putting surface in the expected number of strokes or fewer. Specifically, it’s about reaching the green in:
1 stroke on a par 3
2 strokes on a par 4
3 strokes on a par 5
Once the ball is on the green, it counts as a GIR, regardless of where it lands or how many putts follow.It’s a solid gauge of a golfer’s approach play and ball-striking consistency.
