FIR, GIR

Hi, I have only been playing a short while and would like to know what FIR and GIR mean when filling in the stats on this site. Thanks, Ste

Hi Ste and welcome,

FIR - Fairway in Regulation - Basically, Did you hit the fairway off the tee?

GIR - Green in regulation, did you hit the green in the number of shots alocated.

i.e Par 3 - 1 shot. Par 4 - 2 shots. Par 5 - 3 shots.

Hope this explains all. 

Thanks Paul, Now i can fill in my stats properly. Ste

If you hit the green in two on a par 5 it still counts as a GIR.

Sand save= up and down from a greenside bunker.
