Is GIR (Greens in regulation) the most
important Statistic to lower your handicap?

WE HAVE BEEN using the GHIN handicap system for two
years now and keeping track of all of the data that it makes
available, which makes it easy to answer the question. Is GIR the
most important game improvement Statistic? One simple method
of determining is to look at national averages. If you are frustrated
because you’re not improving your GIR stat you may compare
favorably to some of the best or at least keeping pace with golfers
in your handicap range. The number of greens hit by handicap is a
good place to analyze your game. If you’re below your target it may
time to schedule a lesson with our golf professional, but if you’re
above your target you may want to analyze more data•
