Are you able to schedule 12 players, 2 to a buggy, playing in 4's, over 5 rounds of golf please?

There is something here that should work if you assign the partners to the buggies.

Hi Ian
I have checked out the suggested answer but it leaves some players not playing with everyone.
In this competition it is purely 12 players playing against one another over 5 rounds of golf. They play in fours as previously mentioned. Is it mathematically possible to schedule this scenario?

There are 6 pairs of players in the schedule who do not play each other, and it is probably best to go with that.  

The alternative is that you form 6 ' buddy pairs' who always stick together and play each of the other pairs once only.  See here.
