Any maths boffins out there who know a formula or algorhythm to work this out?
I'm trying to organise the playing schedule for our golf tour.
20 golfers, split in to two teams of 10 ( England v Ireland)
I need to schedule 5 fourballs for three days.
I don't want anyone to play with the same person more than once i.e each player should play with 9 different players over the three days
I've tried doing it manually but it is driving me mad
Thanks
PS. managed this last year with 20 golfers when there wasn't a 10 v 10 team competition element

I'll be impressed if anyone can solve this. I suspect it's impossible but I wouldn't know how to prove it's impossible.
Sounds like a fun trip anyway.

Here's my suggestion, think it works, though it was quite late when I did it!
its 5 matches toffee lover
just 2 rounds to add, but getting more difficult i guess
im with knight rider in thinking it may be impossible , but good luck

Cheers Night Rider, piece of cake 
5 matches are covered Donny, they'll be the 5 groups down the side.

sorry toffee i was reading it as 5 sets of fourballs as in 5 rounds
my error
well done, still some task !
3 rounds in 3 days leaves plenty of drinking time !
