Perfect game??

[se7en]

Is there a formal name for someone hitting all GIRs and FIRs? e.g. perfect game in baseball...

I don't know, that's an interesting question. I seem to recall someone on here that stated that they hit all the fairways and greens and two putted every green for an even par for the day. Can't imagine that happens too often.

I've never heard of a term for that, I think you get the honor of naming it!  Maybe a GIRFIR.....

it doesn't exist in golf, that is what makes this game great.

Think about it, you hit all FIR and GIR, but if you two putt each hole you end up even par. But what if someone chips in, then he beats you. You had your best striking day ever, but someone with a bit of short game mastery gets you. There is no perfection

it is a very interesting notion, but as awesome as hitting every fairway and green would be, there was a US open at cherry hills years ago where ben hogan went 36+ holes hitting every green and only missing one fairway.  arnold palmer, meanwhile, sprayed his shots all over the course throughout the tournament, but still managed to shoot a pretty miraculous score on the last 18 and won it.

I would love to be GIR/FIR throughout a round, but I doubt it will ever happen. I'll always get stupid and pull one, push one, draw one or slice one border-line "next hole over". It just happens, for me at least. Hell that is what makes the game fun sometimes is just to get back in the cart laughing and crack a cold one while your buddy harasses you all the way there.

That is the difference between myself though and obviously someone who is extremely good and takes the sport very seriously/professionally. I'll shoot 38 and go crazy, or I'll shoot 48 and still have a blast. I have buddies who will spend hundreds of dollars in lessons if they're not par or under for the course. They're not even fun to play with though lol.

As complicated as this game is, I still cannot believe there is no term or formal name for this great accomplishment.

heck, hole in one on a par 5 has 3 names, condor, double albatross and triple eagle.

I played the perfect 9 holes before. Had 19 putts for +1 though

I refer to my par5 hole in ones as quadruple birdies!
