What is Greens in Regulation (GIR) in Golf?

 

Greens in Regulation (GIR) is a key performance stat in golf. It refers to reaching the green two strokes under par—giving a player the chance to make par with two putts. For example:

  • On a Par 3, you must reach the green in 1 shot or fewer

  • On a Par 4, you must reach the green in 2 shots

  • On a Par 5, it’s 3 shots or fewer

Reaching the green within this limit means you’ve “hit the green in regulation.”

Why is GIR Important?

 

Tracking your GIR percentage helps measure consistency and long-game accuracy. A higher GIR usually correlates with lower scores, since you’re giving yourself birdie and par opportunities more often.
