Hi Ian,
I have a group of 10 golfers who will play 4 rounds (3some, 3some, 4some in each round). I saw the earlier post that was exactly the same except it was for 3 rounds. Your help in extending this to 4 rounds would be greatly appreciate!!
Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,
I think the following is about the best you can do:
(1 4 5 7) (3 9 10) (2 6 8)
(2 3 4 7) (1 6 10) (5 8 9)
(2 5 7 10) (1 3 8) (4 6 9)
(6 7 8 9) (1 3 10) (2 4 5)
All but one of the players have 7 different partners with either two or three repeated pairings. Player 7 always appears in the foursome and plays with everybody else at least once and at most twice. I guess you could use this last feature to your advantage, the organiser should be player 7 so that everyone can meet him.
Ian.

Thank you Ian! I don't know how you do it, but you sure saved me a lot of time. If I had done it on my own, I still probably wouldn't have gotten to this point. The "feature" with player #7 is useful as well.
