putts: 2008 PGA TOUR Putting Average

 

Statistics are most useful when applied to professionals and highly skilled amateurs.  Most golfers can't really use these to evaluate themselves.  However, if you happen to be wondering who is the best putter on the PGA Tour or who has the best swing, there are two key statistics that would definitely help your evaluation.  Greens In Regulation and Putts Per Green In Regulation are arguably the two most important statistics in golf.  The best golfer is obviously whoever scores the lowest, but if you want to isolate a particular aspect of the game and evaluate just putting or just full swings, it is useful to use statistics.  While watching a T.V. broadcast of PGA Tour events, you might here these two terms referenced a lot.  In case you are wondering why or what they mean, here are explanations.
 

 


G.I.R. - Greens In Regulation

    One of the most commonly used statistics in golf is Greens In Regulation.  This statistic is used to measure a golfer's overall ball-striking performance for a given round.  G.I.R. is based on the concept of par explained on the previous page.  Par expects the golfer to reach the putting surface on every hole at 2 strokes below par.  If a golfer gets his/her ball on the green at 2 strokes or more below par, they are said to have hit the green in regulation.  In other words, anytime you are putting for a birdie or better, you have hit the green in regulation.  In order for a G.I.R. to be officially counted, your ball must be at least partially on the green (fringes do not count).  Using your putter from the fringe or apron does not count as a putt, and would not constitute your having hit a G.I.R.
