Regulation isn’t one size fits all

Hitting a green in regulation (GIR) means you’re on the putting surface in two shots less than par on a hole. But GIR is based on a scratch golfer’s expected performance. So, if that’s not you, a much more useful benchmark of your game is “greens hit from inside 100 yards” (think of this as your scoring zone).

By narrowing the focus to greens hit from inside your scoring zone, we get a benchmark of your short game performance. That gives us a good entry point to improving your playing experience.

This week’s benchmark

Track the number of shots you take to hit the green when inside 100 yards.

If your average over 18 holes is more than 2 shots, we’ve got a massive opportunity to improve your playing experience and score.

Knowledge is power
