FACTS
PUTTS PER GIR
is defined as the average number of putts taken
per greens in regulation. If a golfer hits 12 greens out of 18 and
takes 21 putts on those 12 greens his Putts per GIR is 1,75 (21
putts divided by 12 greens).
AVERAGE PUTTS
is defined as the average number of putts tak-
en per round. The use of the putter from off the green does not
constitute a putt as far as the statistics are concerned.
PUTTING AVERAGE
in the PGA Tour category of Putting Lead-
ers, measures putting performance on those holes where the
green is hit in regulation (GIR). For these holes, the total putts
are divided by the total holes played. By using GIR we are able
to eliminate the effects of chipping close and one putting in the
statistics.
