  GIR stands for Green In Regulation. This is landing on the green in regulation play. This is done by hitting the green, on a par 3 on the first shot, on a par 4 on the second shot, and a par 5 on the third shot.

  Here are 2 crazy questions about GIR.

  1 - If I drive the green on St Andrews #9, or on the 2nd shot on #5, how does that affect my GIR number?

  I thought is was something like Golfers International Ranking or something..lol. I also am waiting to see how it works. So my number only changes when I hit the green? That works also for the closest to the pin game? I guess it depends on the hole.

  If you achieve the green earlier than regulation, you are given that green in regulation....  (i.e. in 2 on a par 5, or driving the green on a par 4)

  There is no bonus, or penalty, for getting there early.

  What was the 2nd question?
