The BigTeamGolf App picks fair teams for golf matches based on averages of scores and birdies from previous golf rounds played. The algorithm for picking teams was established in the late 1970’s and has been modified over the years and now has been accepted as a near-optimal teams picking algorithm. Our promise is to create fair golf teams – and the typical result is that teams that play well will win and teams that play poorly will lose; but that’s how it should be!
