Question from Joe: I have a group of 6 golfers wanting to play 3 or 4 rounds but with different players each day if possible. We know we cannot make it happen without some playing with the same person. Can you provide some pairings for this? |
Joe,
Try this:
1,2,3 & 4,5,6
1,2,4 & 3,5,6
1,5,6 & 2,3,4
2,5,6 & 1,3,4
Everybody plays with everybody once. You can mix the threesomes up a bit and still get the same result. Probably 5 and 6 don't need to play together in all 4 rounds.
Have fun,
Victoria
