Ladder Golf

// August 10th, 2008 // Gaming, Personal Crap

Yesterday, after my 100K ride, I went out to my friend’s bachelor party barbecue in Raleigh and hung out with friends and had some good grilled grub.

We were introduced too to a game that we didn’t know what it was called, but it was easy to pick up and play. It consisted of two “racks” with three horizontal bars – one of in red, blue and white. Two people (or teams) alternately toss three sets of balls with a string between them at these horizontal bars. The blue is valued at 3 points. The red is 2 and the white is 1. The first to 21 wins.

Well, I really enjoyed it and thought it’s be the perfect addition for our back yard for barbecues, gatherings, and just for Amanda and I to duel. It turns out it’s called by several names including ladder golf, ladder ball, hillbilly horseshoes, hillbilly golf, redneck golf, etc. Whatever it’s called, it’s fun.

So while we were out for lunch and running errands we picked up a set at Dick’s Sporting Goods. We only got a couple rounds in, but it’s a lot of fun and look forward to using it when friends and family are over. I wouldn’t mind having this scoreboard for it as well.
