Who this helps

  • Golf outing organizers
  • Groups preparing balanced practice teams

When to use this tool

  • Split twelve players into three groups.
  • Compare average handicaps for two practice teams.

From input to a checked result

  1. 1

    Enter one alias per line, optionally followed by gender and handicap.

  2. 2

    Choose a team-count or people-per-team basis.

  3. 3

    Select the grouping rule that matches the outing.

  4. 4

    Generate and review sizes and missing data.

  5. 5

    Confirm tee times, transport and competition requirements before sharing.

Example 1

Twelve players

Input
12 players; 3 teams; random
Result
Three teams of four players.

Random order is distributed across the groups.

Example 2

Missing handicap

Input
Handicap balancing with one blank handicap
Result
The allocator uses 18 for the blank value during balancing.

The displayed team average excludes blank handicaps, so it is not the same internal metric.

How it works

Random grouping uses Web Crypto rejection sampling and Fisher–Yates. Balance modes use heuristics within team capacities. Limits are 100 players, 60 characters per name and handicaps from -10 to 54.

Limitations

  • This does not calculate official course or playing handicaps.
  • Heuristic balancing does not prove the best possible allocation.
  • Transport, familiarity, tee times and pace of play are not inputs.
  • Use distinct aliases for different players and review incomplete handicap data.
