I like this one too. This would be one of those stats (in my opinion) that would only be able to be calculated at a personal level but is very valuable. You couldn't compare player to player I don't think - it's too vague. But for me, I know when I feel I'm "nGIR" versus not. For example, If I came up short of the green by 30 ft. but I have a middle pin on an uphill slope with lots of room to work with and a good chance at getting up and down - that's an nGIR in my book. If I'm 20 ft. up on a greenside hard downhill (toward the pin) with also a downhill green in front of me... and a bunker between my lie and the green? - Then I probably wouldn't count that as an nGIR.

I disagree that it's a "player to player" stat, except for relatively small differences in "good chance of getting up and down." What you defined as an nGIR and a non-nGIR are about how we'd apply it to everyone.

It's very much a stat that can be used, as you agree, for assessing the state of your game.
