I’m atypical? I’m shocked 😜

I just checked 5 rounds (one was two 9s combined) and my predicted (using this formula) versus actual was within a stroke except for one round for which the formula predicted an 83 versus the 89 that

In Lowest Score Wins we cited a commonly used formula that illustrates the importance of GIR. We've found it to generally be pretty accurate if you're a fairly "average" golfer who can shoot anywhere

10 GIR today with 2 double bogies with 3 three-putt bogeys: 83

Maybe the formula would work for me if I could putt (39 putts)

I’ll trade my putting for your GIR!

I think the formula is flawed. Oversimplified, maybe.

I’m averaging 7.5 GIR over my last 10 rounds and I haven’t broken 80 once. Only once in those ten did the formula work for me - an 85 with 5 GIR and 33 putts.

I don't know that it's flawed… I think you're putting stinks. 😄 

It's a really, really simple formula, so it's going to have some holes. It's very generalized. Maybe we'll find a better one.

I just entered my round from August 16. I shot an 89 with one lost ball penalty (resulted in a triple bogie) and 27 putts. Although I only hit two greens (predicting a 91), I just missed three others and holed a chip (using a putter) from just off the green all of which reduced my putt count below what it would have typically been. It was raining for most of the round.

Lucius Riccio later revised his original formula to account for putting, and it ties pretty closely to my own experience. In an article he stated this tracked within  1 shot for 80% of the rounds on the PGA Tour. I have no idea if that’s true but it is much closer for me than the original.

58-(4/3 * GIR) + Putts

I just checked 5 rounds (one was two 9s combined) and my predicted (using this formula) versus actual was within a stroke except for one round for which the formula predicted an 83 versus the 89 that I actually shot.  Results for the outlier round were likely skewed by a lost ball penalty on a Par-3 and a blowup hole, both of which resulted in triples, several situations where I just missed the green resulting in first "putts" which did not count as putts and a "chip in" so my putt count was several strokes less than usual.  Otherwise, this formula seems to be very predictive.

      Ball Lost in the Rough

      By billchao · Posted

      I don’t understand why this concept is hard for people. If the ball is lost, it is lost. It doesn’t matter where they think it should be, or whether they feel like it should be lost. The bottom line is they don’t have a ball in play. I play with some people that will just drop with one stroke (if they even take a stroke at all). Frankly, I don’t care since it’s not a competition, but if they go bragging at the bar later that they shot “85” because I will call them out on it every time.

      I played in Open Qualifying about 25 years ago. I got to the last hole - I shan't share my score, but it wasn't good. It's a long uphill par 4 with the clubhouse just long left of the green. The clubhouse is out of bounds. I hit my second shot left and it got a firm bounce. Get up there and the clubhouse has a patio. Between the patio and a grass is a little channel filled with pebbles. In that channel is my ball. Channel is in play, but hardly ideal. About 8 inches behind my ball also in the channel is a sprinkler head. So I asked an official who happened to be on the patio whether I got relief or not. He had me set up to it and take a backswing. My club hit the sprinkler head (harder than I would have liked). He asked me to do it again (side note - WTF?) and I hit the sprinkler again. He begrudgingly gave me relief and I dropped it on the grass, pitched on the green and missed from about 8 feet. Holing it would have allowed me to break a certain score threshold I'd rather not flirt with. Following year, I played same course, same event and I played a LOT better. I birdied 17 to go back to even par for the day. Friend of mine told me it looked like even was playing off for last spot, but birdie on 18 would get me through (this was local qualifying, so through to final qualifying). I hit my drive in the heather right, went for it from there and pulled it heather left and wound up making double to not be in the play off (which wound up being about 8 people for 2 spots). But I digress - anyway, as I walked off 18 green I walked over to the patio where the scorers were and noticed that they had painted a white line on the grass next to that Channel, so they fixed my issue from the previous year, albeit in a way that would have been much more detrimental to my score.
