Question from Lori:

4 golfers want to play as 2 somes every week, but rotate the 2 players so we all play together
With each other evenly thru out the summer

Lori,

It takes 3 weeks for all pairs to be together exactly once:

1: 12, 34
2: 13, 24
3: 14, 23

Just keep cycling through, or play these days in different order after each three through to get some variety.
