Run your own Ryder Cup

Every great buddies trip is secretly a Ryder Cup: Saturday scramble, Sunday four-ball, Sunday singles, points for every match, a cup at the end. Swilkin runs the whole thing — the teams, the slates, the live match status, and the cup score everyone argues about at dinner.

  1. 1

    Make the event & add the rounds

    Create a tournament, add a round for each session — the Saturday scramble, Sunday morning four-ball, Sunday singles. Each round keeps its own format; the cup rides on top of all of them.

  2. 2

    Draft the teams & name the captains

    One tap splits the crew into two handicap-balanced teams — then rename them, move anyone across, and crown a captain per side. The C badge matters more than it should. That’s the point.

  3. 3

    Pair the matches each night

    Captains set the slate per round — singles or pairs, worth whatever points you like (double the Sunday singles if you want the fireworks). Sitting someone out is just leaving them off the slate.

  4. 4

    Watch the cup fill in

    Matches close out the real way — 3&2 is 3&2 — and every result rolls into the cup score in golf-speak. The event page leads with the board: score up top, every match with live status underneath.

  5. 5

    Put it on the TV

    Cast the event’s big-screen board at the house — the cup slate rotates in full-screen with the score across the top, filling in red and blue as the matches land.

    And the bets underneath

    Nassau with presses in your foursome, a trip-long skins pot, dollar dots — all riding on the same scorecards, all settled to the penny at the end with one-tap Venmo, PayPal or Cash App.
