Has the beanbag game called cornhole made its way to your area?

[WorldNumberOne]

Boards all over the place down here.

What is funny to me is that we played that game in the 70's on family camping trips with other families that traveled with us. My dad and his buddies use to make the boards and the bags.

Had a large group of family friends who all camped on the weekends . We had dirt bikes and went to places we could ride.

Brought the beanbag boards and we were really really good at it.

i am from michigan . it was huge in the midwest 30 years ago. i think it found new life in that area and started to spread.

any game where all you have to do is stand still and can hold a beer in the other hand without spilling is bound to catch on ..

FISHHEAD was playing like he's been playing his entire 65 years at the Outback bowl tailgate last January...

 

[terps1313]

Been huge in Maryland for atleast 5 years now

 

[barman]

heh..My thought exactly

FISHHEAD has actually been hard at work trying to create a national circuit for Cornhole BeanBag Senior Tour. Participants would travel across the country and stop in every city that has a decent poker/blackjack casino.

He also hopes to get 5Dimes to post lines on the various matchups

when i was a kid , we only used 2 bags .

now they use 4 .

i would play anybody anywhere ... i was beating people on the beach yesterday with my opposite arm .

if i used my normal arm . i was winning 21-2 . and me and whoever would win 21-4 or worse in doubles.

then they asked me if i would play blindfolded. i said , well lets see .

i covered my eyes with my left hand and got 2 in the hole and 4 others on the board out of 8 bags.
