We're going to have a fun 2018!
Swannies may primarily be an apparel company with a cool logo that creates stylish, comfortable and fun clothing with millennial golfers in mind.
But the company’s vision is much larger.
“We aim to change the culture of golf to make it more fun and accessible,” said Adam Iversen, co-founder of Swannies Apparel.
The Swannies Party Scramble does just that. As part of this 16-city event series, teams will meet at a local brewery for pre-round drinks before taking a party bus to a local urban golf course.

FlingGolf made its debut in Berks County, PA as part of the Hometown Heroes Community Tribute Weekend and raised some important funds for Teachers in the Park, a summer time learning program for area youth.
John Cusatis, Exeter Township Supervisor, was looking for something unique and fun to draw players to the township's Reading Country Club for the event. "I spoke to our pro, Chris Conklin about different ideas. We looked at footgolf, but landed on FlingGolf because we didn't need to make any changes to the course and it can be played without interrupting golfers on the course", Cusatis said. Conklin said, "It worked out beautifully."
