Optimized Golf Group Combinations
Hundreds of amateur and professional leagues and tournaments from all courses of life (men's, ladies, seniors, mixed and juniors) are using Probable Golf Optimized Golf Group Generator because it is easy to use, very affordable and a tremendous time-saver. Consider a regular group of players at a club. Justin says, "I've played with Adam 3 of the last 5 times yet have never played with Rory. Yet, I've never played with Sergio or Jason! Something is not right." If the players are arranged properly, the above should not happen. The group arrangements I have developed are optimized to reduce the number of repeats and ensures each player plays with each other player at least once (as long as there are enough rounds played).
Here's an example of a group of 12 Golfers playing multiple rounds together.
12 Golfers 3 Rounds
Round 1: 1,2,3,4 5,6,7,8, 9,10,11,12
Round 2: 1,5,9,2 3,6,10,11, 4,8,12,7
Round 3: 1,7,11,5 2,4,10,8, 3,6,12,9
You'll notice that in 3 rounds, most players play with each other player once. A few don't and a few play with others twice. The pairings above are optimized with the most players playing with each other at least once and no 3-peats. Add a 4th round and one attempts to avoid 3-peats and reduce the number of zero matches between players. Feel free to use the optimized pairings above. Or, you can purchase a spreadsheet in which you simply type in the 12 names, the the sheet will organize the players into groups that are optimized.
Below are purchase options for rounds with 12 players, 16 players and 20 players. Once a purchase is made, you'll be emailed the spreadsheet link within 24 hours or immediately depending on the draw chosen.
