Question from justin: I have 8 golfers going on a trip. We have 3 rounds to play. |
One simple formula is to pair the golfers and have each pair play with each other pair:
(1) ABCD EFGH
(2) ABEF CDGH
(3) ABGH EFCD
Of course, A and B do not have to be partners each time.
(1) AB,CD EF,GH
(2) AE,BF CG,DH
(3) AH,BG EC,FD
Good luck!
