Alastair Swan is the innovative mind behind Chiphole Chipong, a game that seamlessly combines the precision of golf with the competitive fun of Cornhole and Beer Pong. Drawing from his background in mechanical engineering and his lifelong passion for woodworking, Alastair has crafted a product that stands out in the crowded market of outdoor games.

Born and raised with a strong work ethic, Alastair developed a love for creating and building things from a young age, working alongside his father on various woodworking projects. This early exposure to craftsmanship laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial spirit and meticulous attention to detail. After earning his degree in mechanical engineering, Alastair spent several years in industry, honing his skills in design, problem-solving, and project management. However, his passion for creating tangible products never waned, leading him to explore avenues where he could merge his technical expertise with his creative instincts.

Chiphole Chipong was born out of this desire to innovate and bring something new to the market. What began as a humble project in Alastair’s garage in Charlotte, NC, quickly gained traction as friends and family experienced the game’s unique blend of challenge and entertainment. Recognizing the potential, Alastair refined the design, ensuring that each set was not only fun to play but also built to last. Today, Chiphole Chipong is handcrafted in small batches in America, with each set reflecting Alastair’s commitment to quality and his passion for the game.

The game itself offers two modes: Chiphole, where players score points by landing golf balls on a turf-covered board or sinking them into holes, similar to cornhole. While Chipong mimics the rules of Beer Pong with a golf twist. This versatility, combined with the familiarity of the rules from Cornhole and Beer Pong, makes Chiphole Chipong a hit at family gatherings, tailgates, and even serious golf practice sessions.

Alastair’s journey with Chiphole Chipong is not just about creating a product; it’s about fostering a community of players who appreciate the blend of skill, strategy, and fun that the game offers. He is committed to maintaining the high standards of craftsmanship that have defined the brand from the beginning, ensuring that every customer experiences the same joy and satisfaction that he felt when the first prototype was completed.
