If you’re serious about lowering your golf scores, there’s one stat that stands above the rest: Greens in Regulation (GIR).
What is Greens in Regulation?
Greens in Regulation simply means hitting the green with enough strokes left to two-putt for par. On a par 3, that means landing your ball on the green in one shot. On a par 4, it’s two shots. On a par 5, three shots. Simple in theory, but powerful in practice.
Why Does GIR Matter So Much?
Because it directly correlates with scoring. Players who consistently hit more greens in regulation put themselves in better position to make pars and birdies. It’s a foundational metric used by pros, coaches, and analysts alike to diagnose ball-striking efficiency and overall performance.
Most Golfers Aren’t Tracking It — And That’s a Problem
Here’s the truth: the average golfer isn’t tracking this stat. Many scorecards don’t make it easy. Most apps either bury it in submenus or skip it entirely. And without the data, it’s hard to know what part of your game really needs work.
