I have 14 players playing 3 rounds of golf. We will play 3 x 4 ball and 1 x 2 as we are in buggies. Can you suggest the best option for everyone to play with everyone if poss or the closest to it. Thanks

I do not think it possible to arrange that all opponents are different, there must be three pairs of players who play together twice - below these are  (10 8) (11 9) (12 7):
 
  (12  7  1  8) (14 11  9  5)  (6  3 13 10)  (4  2)
  (10  8  2  9) (14 12  7  6)  (4  1 13 11)  (5  3)
  (11  9  3  7) (14 10  8  4)  (5  2 13 12)  (6  1)

There is another unavoidable issue, the 6 players who get to play in the two-balls, will of course have 2 fewer opponents than the other 8 players who always play in  four-balls.
