brendalonian Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi Spies, I wanted to put a scenario out there about how a penalty stroke should be applied and how or whether it impacts GIR. I enter my hole-by-hole scores into GHIN with advanced stats and I realized that I wasn't 100% sure how to enter the GIR cell for a particular hole. Scenario: Par 5, hit second shot into water. Took my drop and hit the green with my next shot. Two putted. Score: 5 strokes + 1 penalty stroke = 6 I believe this would not count as a GIR because the penalty applies immediately in my stroke count, so I reached the green in four strokes, not three, correct? In which case, the proper GIR entry on GHIN would be "Missed Short", correct? The other way to look at it would be that I reached the green in 3 actual strokes and the penalty doesn't factor into that statistic. I know GIR is only for personal stat tracking purposes but I am interested in seeing what others think. I'm probably also overthinking this Quote Dexterity: RH Driver: Sim Max 9˚ 3 Wood: 939x 4h & 5h: 939x 4i-PW: MALTBY TE Forged Wedges: RTX ZipCore 52˚ & 58˚ Putter: EAS 1.0 Ball: Pro V1 or MTB-X Optic Yellow Data Collection: V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiR is having the ball on the putting surface in 2 strokes less than par. In your example the ball was on the green after your fourth shot not your third. brendalonian 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed Short would be most applicable but I wish there was an option for "Missed - Penalty" or something in that realm.
