re: How many GIRs do you average in a round?

Yes. My chipping and putting has always been the best part of my game. I once only hit 2 GIRs and still managed a 76 on a par 72 course before.

But it would be nice to not have to rely on the chipping as much. Although I've been chipping out of my mind lately. I've chipped in 9 times out my last 9 full rounds.

I just finished 3 months of lessons and I'm hitting more and more greens as this new swing becomes more natural.
