· 2 min read
If you don’t have an official handicap but need one for a golf day, No Bandits can estimate what you should be playing off based on your recent scores.
No complicated maths. No pretending you’re better than you are. Just a sensible number for the day.
How it works
Tell us about your recent rounds, how often you play and how confident you are in your scores. No Bandits uses that information to estimate a sensible playing range and recommend what you should play off.
Can I use this for a corporate or society golf day?
Yes. No Bandits is designed for exactly this kind of situation — when you need a reasonable handicap for a golf day but don’t have an official handicap index. There’s more detail in our guide to corporate golf day handicaps.
Is this an official golf handicap?
No. No Bandits gives you an estimate for informal golf days, society days and similar events. It does not replace an official WHS Handicap Index.
What if I’ve only played a few rounds?
That’s fine. Give us the best information you have. The more recent rounds you enter, the more confident we can be in the estimate. If you’re unsure where to start, read what handicap you should play off.
Common questions
- Do I need an official handicap for a golf day?
- Not always. Many corporate, charity and society days simply need a sensible handicap so players of different standards can compete fairly. Check with the organiser.
- How does No Bandits estimate my handicap?
- It uses your recent scores together with the course and tee ratings you played, then adjusts the confidence and playing range based on how many rounds you enter.
- Is No Bandits free?
- Yes. The golf-day handicap calculator is free to use and needs no account.
