This is possible because each foursome starts on a different hole. Usually, two groups are assigned to each hole, so not EVERY single group starts at the same moment. In this format, all of the players finish at about the same time (unless some groups are not keeping pace), which makes it nice if there is a group meal. See similar questions...
