How Many Greens Do You Need To Hit To Break 80?

Golfers always aim to break 90 or even 80. But how many greens do you need to hit to break 80? You see, players can miss all the greens and still break 80, so it's not everything about the GIR (Greens in regulation) but it’s really tough. To break 80, you should aim to hit at least 10 greens.

Why you should hit 10 greens to break 80?

If you hit these 10 greens and you par these holes, and then you miss the other 8 and can manage to get up and down just one time, your score would likely be around 79.

One of the best ways to be able to break 80 is to have at least one or maybe even two birdies in the course of a round. If you can get that one birdie, it will erase a bogey and make it considerably easier to shoot the numbers you want.
