Interestingly, it says that the maximum can be achieved, however, the given solution: 

7 rounds play in 6 groups of 4 golfers
[ 1 2 11 21 | 9 10 19 5 | 17 18 3 13 | 4 7 6 24 | 8 12 14 15 | 16 20 2

Obviously doesn't work since 1 is paired with 5 in both the 4th and 6th round. But that appars to be a typo and should be a 7 in round 6. Spot checking didn't turn up any other problem but I didn't fully verify the solution, which using our A..X notation would be: 

ABKU IJSE QRCM DGFX HLNO PTVW
ACLV IKTF QSDN EHGR BMOP JUWX
