How Ringer calculates it

inside 8 fteligible shots

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ExcludedDrafts, voided or superseded revisions, non-strokes, unusable locations, and attempts missing a measurement required by this formula.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 off-green shots starting 50 yards or closer. A result qualifies when the confirmed finish is in the hole or no more than 8 feet from it; exactly 8 feet is included.
