How Ringer calculates it

green outcomeseligible green attempts

Evidence rules

IncludedOnly current, confirmed shots assigned to this category with usable start and finish evidence.

ExcludedDrafts, voided or superseded revisions, non-strokes, unusable locations, and attempts missing a measurement required by this formula.

DenominatorThe number of eligible attempts after the stated exclusions—not every hole or every round by default.

Missing dataIf no eligible denominator remains, Ringer returns unavailable and displays “—”, never 0% or NaN.

Classification

Derived from eligible green attempts, including par-3 tee shots. A green hit requires the ball to finish on the putting green or in the hole; fringe and every off-green surface are misses.
