6 man teams, 5 rounds of golf

[clarith33]

Wondering if anyone can help me with the best schedule for 5 rounds of golf with two 6 member teams. I'm trying to get the most balanced schedule where you will play with each of your team members once and then the best mix of the other team. This is partners golf until the last round and then its singles.

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Unfortunately there will be no balanced schedule for your 6 man teams.

If you had 16 players, then you could consider something like this.

If each of the 12 players had 6 games each, then it is possible to arrange it so that all players oppose each other exactly two times.  Of course 6 games each does mean partnering with one of you own team members twice.  

(A2 A3):(B6 B1)
(A4 A1):(B6 B4)
(A5 A6):(B4 B1)
(A6 A4):(B6 B5)
(A6 A2):(B3 B1)
(A5 A2):(B6 B3)
(A1 A6):(B6 B2)
(A2 A4):(B5 B4)
(A1 A4):(B1 B3)
(A1 A2):(B2 B4)
(A6 A3):(B4 B3)
(A5 A4):(B3 B2)
(A3 A1):(B5 B3)
(A3 A5):(B4 B2)
(A3 A5):(B6 B5)
(A5 A1):(B1 B5)
(A2 A6):(B2 B5)
(A4 A3):(B1 B2)

and note that it is not possible to arrange these 18 games in to 6 rounds of 3 foursomes, although 9 rounds of 2 foursomes should be possible.
