Wolf on Swilkin, in detail
Wolf is the best game for a foursome that is tired of the same match, and the worst one to keep on paper. Somebody has to remember whose turn it is, who they picked, whether that lone wolf on 11 was double, and what the dots add up to.
If you searched for an app that keeps Wolf, here is what Swilkin does.
The rotation keeps itself
Four to six golfers. The wolf rotates with your tee order.
After each hole you tap who the wolf took (or Lone, or Blind) right on the scoring screen. That is the only extra tap the game costs.
What a hole is worth
Play it for dots or for dollars. A partner hole is worth one, a lone wolf double and a blind wolf triple by default, and you can set lone anywhere from ×2 to ×4 and blind from ×3 to ×6.
The receipt reads like the round
Every hole shows on the receipt, “Hole 7, Jack lone”, so nobody rebuilds the back nine from memory.
With something else on the card
Wolf stacks with a skins pot or a dots sheet on the same round, each settled off the same scores. A wolf pick made with no signal is held on the phone and syncs when signal returns.
The honest notes
- Four to six golfers. A threesome wants Nines instead.
- The games it settles are a fixed list, and Wolf’s variations are the two multipliers above. A house rule outside them is yours to track.
- Money is 18 and over, and Swilkin never holds or moves it.
And the rest of your golf
Wolf is one afternoon. The same card feeds your stats, your record against each golfer in the group, and the group’s season. Your whole golf life, in one place.
