The annual trip
Eight players, two teams, one cup. You know exactly what this weekend is.
Every great trip is secretly a Ryder Cup — Saturday scramble, Sunday morning four-ball, Sunday singles, points on the board, and a loser's toast at dinner. Swilkin runs the whole thing off the scores you're already keeping, plus every side bet riding underneath.
🔴🔵 Teams for the whole weekend
Split the crew into two teams — one tap balances them by handicap, then move anyone. Name them, color them, pick captains. The C badge matters more than it should. That's the point.
⚔️ A match slate every round
Captains pair the matches each night — singles or pairs, four-ball, scramble or alternate shot per the round's format. Sitting someone out is just leaving them off the slate (they know what they did). Doubled points for Sunday singles? One number.
🏆 The cup score, live
Matches close out the real way — 3&2 is 3&2 — and every result rolls into the cup score in golf-speak: 8½–6½. Match status updates as the scores land, net or gross, strokes off the low man.
💸 The bets underneath
Nassau with presses in your foursome, a trip-long skins pot, wolf on the last day, dollar dots all weekend — all riding on the same scorecards. At the end: one settle-up, fewest payments, one-tap Venmo/PayPal/Cash App aimed at the right person.
🗿 The receipts live forever
Head-to-head records against everyone on the trip, season winnings, and a shareable burn card when you close somebody out on 14. The trash talk doesn't end at the airport.
Set the cup up before the flight
Make the event, add the crew, draft the teams. Captains handle the rest at the bar.
