TheGrint has tons of powerful stats. Have you looked at your "Greens in Regulation" stats?

What stats are captured here?

  • Avg. GIR % and GIR +1 %
  • GIR by hole par and by hole distance
  • GIR by tee accuracy (did you hit the fairway or not)
  • GIR per round, and distribution of GIRs per round by hole par
  • Strengths and weaknesses of your game vs. players at your skill level

What can you learn from these stats?

  • How is your ball striking for your handicap level? GIR % is a great indicator of overall ball striking, and you can learn where your GIR % stat falls vs. other Grinters
  • Are you great at hitting the green on Par 3's, but not 4's and 5's? Or maybe its the opposite? Why?
  • Is there a certain hole distance on Par 3's where your GIR % accuracy really breaks down?
  • When you miss a fairway, how problematic is it really? If your GIR% is the same whether you hit the fairway or rough
