Featured episodes
The trips we just took apart.
EP 03Pinehurst, North Carolina · w/ Sam P.
Pinehurst — The Trip We Almost Didn't Take
Booked nine months out, almost cancelled twice, ultimately the trip everyone in the group still talks about. No. 2 lived up to it. The cradle did not.
EP 02Myrtle Beach, South Carolina · w/ Dom C.
Myrtle Beach — 9 Guys, 4 Courses, $1,400 a Head
Dom's nine-man crew has been doing this trip for six years. Same Airbnb. Same Tuesday-night Calcutta. Every year a new villain emerges.
EP 01Bandon Dunes, Oregon · w/ Mike T.
Bandon Dunes — When Walking Is the Whole Point
Three rounds, no carts, one rented house, and a debate about whether Pacific Dunes is actually the best course on the property.
The framework
The Sick Score™
Every trip we feature gets evaluated across four dimensions. It's part scoring rubric, part group-chat argument generator. Built so a $1,400 buddies trip can rank higher than a $7,000 bucket-list weekend, because that's the whole point.

Run-It-Back
Annual Lock. Rotational Classic. One-and-Done. Rebuild & Run. Lightning in a Bottle. Not a ranking — a vibe.

We don't care if it was Bandon or a public muni in Wisconsin. We want the details — the format, the crew, the run-back math, the weird story nobody outside your group chat would believe.
