Question from Trish: I have 7 golfers and we are playing 4 days of golf. I would like to do pairings so that everyone gets to play with each other at least one time. Can you help with this? Not a math whiz here and looking for help. Thank you. |
Trish,
I guess you'll want a foursome and a threesome on each day. There are lots of ways. Here is one:
Day 1: 1, 2, 3, 4; 5, 6, 7
Day 2: 2, 4, 6, 7; 1, 3, 5
Day 3: 1, 2, 5, 6; 3, 4, 7
Day 4: 1, 4, 5, 7; 2, 3, 6
Enjoy.
Victoria
