    Arranging Groups

    Is there any software or formula out there or does anyone have any experience with managing groups like this.
    We have a weekend trip with 16 guys, playing 4 rounds. Some guys don't know everyone and most guys haven't seen some of the other guys in a year or more. I want to arrange the tee off groups so each guy plays with 3 new guys each round and doesn't play with the same guy at all if at all possible.
    Suggestions.

    Bored at work seemed like an interesting math-ish challenge... using #s instead of names with foresomes horizontal

    Round 1
    1.2.3.4
    5.6.7.8
    9.10.11.12
    13.14.15.16

    Round 2
    1.5.9.13
    2.6.10.14
    3.7.11.15
    4.8.12.16

    Round 3
    1.6.11.16
    2.7.12.15
    3.8.13.5
    4.9.14.10

    Round 4
    13.10.7.4
    14.11.8.3
    15.12.6.1
    16.2.5.9

    I think that's right... I'm sure there is a more elegant solution out there though.

    Nah its wrong... 6 and 1 as well as 15 and 12 play together 2x. i think everything else works. I'm sure there is a way though.

    Definitely a math challenge that I can't figure out. Bodey is right plus 10 plays with 4, 9 an 14 twice. 8 plays with 3 and 5 twice etc. Same issues I come up with. Gotta be a way with 16 guys but I can't find it.

    I tried a couple more times this morning and couldn't get it to work... so I googled it.

    There is the answer. Just use the first four groupings.

    Bodey, you da man! Google knows everything. I would have never got that with my grade 10 math. Thanks everyone.

    Lordy---what happens if one guy has to drop out ??? Nope, I'm not on the course today
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?
