tap in

Short stroke sunk

A tap in is an easy, close-range shot that requires minimal skill—just a tap to finish.

In soccer, it's a goal from near the goal line; in golf, a putt so short it's nearly automatic.

Figuratively, anything effortless can be called a tap in: That exam was a tap in.

In slang, to tap in means to check in or connect with someone: I'll tap in with you later.
