Meet No Bunkers No Bogeys

Maybe you're new to golf and don't have a regular foursome. Maybe you recently moved to a new city. Or maybe you've been playing casually for years but wish you had more people to get out on the course with.

Whatever brings you to the game, finding the right people can make all the difference.

That's the idea behind No Bunkers No Bogeys.

Built around a simple mission, “Never feel alone again on the first tee,” NBNB is rethinking what it means to be part of a golf club.

NBNB is building a community where the focus isn't on your handicap or how well you play. It's about meeting people who share your enthusiasm for golf and making it easier to get out and enjoy the game.

You don't need to be a great golfer to fit in. You just need to want to play.

Find Your People, Not Just a Tee Time

One of the things that makes NBNB different is how they connect golfers.

Rather than matching people based on skill level alone, NBNB uses a system developed by a sport psychologist that considers personality and playing preferences.

Think about the people you enjoy playing golf with. Chances are, it has less to do with how well they play and more to do with how much fun you have together.

Some golfers love a little friendly competition. Others are happy to get outside, hit a few good shots, and enjoy the afternoon. Finding people who approach the game the way you do can make every round more enjoyable.

Through NBNB's online community, golfers can build a profile and connect with compatible playing partners nearby.

It's a simple idea with real potential: help people find a group they enjoy playing with, and they'll have one more reason to get back out on the course.

No Score. No Pressure. Just Good Golf.

NBNB also brings its community together through events designed to take some of the pressure out of golf.

Their signature events are called No Score Scrambles, and the concept is pretty straightforward. You get to play a full round of golf without worrying about where you stand on a leaderboard.

Golfers are grouped into four-person teams with a mix of personalities and skill levels. They play a scramble format, where everyone hits a shot and the team continues from the best position until the ball is in the hole.

There's no handicap requirement and no pressure to keep up with better players. And if you don't have a foursome, that's the whole point. NBNB helps you find one.

The focus is on enjoying the round and getting to know the people you're playing with. Afterward, everyone has a chance to hang out over food and drinks.

For anyone who's felt intimidated by traditional golf events, it's a refreshing way to experience the game.

NBNB also hosts casual driving range meetups. They're an easy way to meet other golfers without committing to a full round. You can hit a few balls, get to know some people, and maybe find a partner for your next tee time.

Growing the Game Together

At 18Birdies, we believe growing golf means more than introducing people to the sport. From connecting with other golfers at their local courses to supporting communities like NBNB, we want to make it easier for more people to find reasons to play.

Having people to play with is a big part of that. A welcoming group can turn an intimidating first round into a great experience. And a few new golf buddies might be all it takes to make playing a regular part of your life.

That's what makes communities like No Bunkers No Bogeys so valuable.

We're proud to partner with NBNB and support the work they're doing to make golf more accessible and enjoyable. We hope more golfers discover their community and get the chance to experience the game together.
