A green is hit in regulation if your ball is on the putting surface in par minus two strokes. Penalty strokes count toward total strokes but the GIR threshold remains fixed.
Par 3: on in 1 | Par 4: on in 2 | Par 5: on in 3Divide greens hit by total holes (typically 18) and multiply by 100. Partial rounds prorate to 18 holes for comparison.
GIR % = (Greens hit ÷ 18) × 100When GIR is missed, scrambling percentage measures recovery ability. Low GIR with high scrambling still produces decent scores but indicates approach play needs improvement.

A 15-handicap hitting 6 GIR (33%) aligns with typical amateur stats. Identifying that 4 of 6 misses are par-3 tee shots focuses practice on long irons and hybrids.
Review last five rounds averaging 8 GIR (44%) to set a tournament goal of 10 GIR — requiring two more approach shots per round inside 20 feet.
After switching to game-improvement irons, track GIR over 10 rounds. An increase from 5 to 8 GIR per round validates the equipment change with data.
Greens in Regulation (GIR) measures how often you reach the green in the expected number of strokes — par minus two. Enter hole-by-hole results to calculate GIR percentage overall and by par 3, 4, and 5, benchmarked against tour averages and your handicap level.
