5 Reasons You Should be Cornholing Right Now!

Perhaps you are already aware of this awesome outdoor activity / game that has been enjoyed in the midwest since the 60's.

It doesn't require a lot of thinking, has few rules, and can be assembled from things you probably have in your garage.

Or maybe this is new to you, and you have never had the immense personal satisfaction of throwing a perfect Cornhole.

Either way, I spell out here why you should be out there right now with your Bags and Boards.

That is right, you have to actually get up and out of your house, apartment, hovel to play. We could all use the exercise and a little fresh air and sunshine.
So put down the remote, roll off the couch, and crawl outside!

No, your skin will not catch fire vampire-like if you actually put down the computer mouse, X-BOX or WII control, or cell phone and venture forth into the light.

I know, it is really just half sheets of plywood elevated 10% in the back with a 6 inch hole cut in each, placed 27 feet apart, and 8 bean bags thrown toward said holes.

But even those who say that it is silly, or it is just wimpy horseshoes, fall in love immediately as soon as you place a bean-bag in their hand and they fling it.

You will see them smile and hear them say,"Give me another bag, I just want to try one more time." Then 4 hours later, they are officially hooked.

And what could be better than a workout that is so much fun you do not realize you are working out?

Honestly, the first time I played, we went for 6 hours, until we could not see the boards.
We all finished our libations, bid farewell, scheduled another game, and retired to our own domiciles.

The next day when I rose from my extra-good slumber, I was feeling worn out in places I had evidently not been using for years.

But in a good way! It felt good to call my friends and talk about my sore calf muscles and gluteus maximus.

There are a lot of addictive things out there that are waayyyy negative.
This is addictive in a good way.

Exercise, sunshine, camaraderie, competition, and fun too.
How can that be bad?

And trust me, when I say addictive, I mean ADDICTIVE.

Before you know it you will be discussing throwing techniques with your spouse, wind effect with your opponents, and Cornholing with everyone.

8 of my cohorts and I recently went to a friend's house for a cook-out and Cornhole. There was a group of grillers nearby, 10 in number, all ages and both sexes.

As usual, we did not have to invite them over. The simplicity registers in there eyes as you see them think, "I can do that!" and "Why do they keep missing?"

Then, while taking a break, we introduced ourselves and invited them to give it a try. Before we knew what had happened, we had met new friends, people that our host had lived by for years, but had never met.

The 8 year old boys played, their older sisters, and all the adults. (And in trade we got some of the best ribs I have ever tasted!)
