Use GIR Benchmarks By Handicap
- Scratch players average about 10.1 GIR, 10-handicappers about 6.5, and 20-handicappers about 3.6 per round.
- Use these benchmarks to set realistic GIR improvement goals for your handicap.
GIR Correlates With Handicap And Dispersion
- Greens-in-regulation correlates strongly with handicap and score across skill levels.
- Increasing GIR also reduces big misses and penalty shots through tighter dispersion.
More Greens Tighten Shot Dispersion
- Hitting more greens tightens a player's shot dispersion beyond just added GIR.
- Tighter dispersion reduces extreme misses and stabilizes scoring consistency.
