Controlled Chaos Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Ok I made some bean bags for a buddy last year. I got the dimensions from here, which says length shold be 34 1/2 - 36". I'm ready to make some of my own now and I see there are some different opinions on length. Windy city bags make theirs from 42 to 45 1/2. Some other sites I saw make them as long as 48". Any experts here? What do you guys think with regards to length? (Bite your tongue steff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Best game in the world to play while drinking with family and friends!!! It's fun at first, but as the time goes by, it gets better and better! I actually throw better after I have had a few. My wife and I are asking my wifes sister and her man to build us our own. Great stuff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I have been playing cornhole since i was a kid. And now that it is getting more popular with everyone, we have switched back to playing washers, which is not as easy to make, but can be even more fun. Has anyone heard of this ladder golf game?

"no you don't understand, i haven't gotten warmed up yet, i'm only on my first beer" It's my firm belief that beanbags was invented primarily as a way to curb the number of accidents attributed to drunk Southsiders playing horseshoes and jarts ("lawn darts") on summer holiday weekends. Let 'em throw beanbags and nobody ends up at the emergency room. At least until we light the Coleman... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is ladder golf the one where you essentially have a ladder with 3 rungs on it, and you throw these...ropes?...with balls on the ends of em, and if you hit it right it will wrap around one of the rungs? I saw some kids playing this type of game after the football game saturday; first time i had seen anything of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's it, I've seen it just about every Saturday at 4th and Kirby in that parking lot and I know some people were playing it last spring at the World's Largest Softball Tailgate, but unfortunately I don't know how it is played. I stick with bean bags, but I think washers is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya want stupid??? When I was a kid we used to split up into two groups. The two groups would stand on either side of my buddies house and throw the jarts over the top to see who could get closest to the circle that way!!!
