We thought we would tell you about the new game we played at Allegany this year.
We call it Ladder Golf or Hillbilly Horseshoes but there are many other names for it.
Chris built the "ladders" out of 3/4" PVC pipe. He cut everything to length and bought fittings for all of the connections.
Here we are playing teams.
Each rung of the ladder has a point value, and each bola left hanging on a rung at the end of a round scores that many points.
He made the bolas out of golf balls and 3/16" nylon rope. The bola is a length of rope attached to two objects, one at each end. He drilled holes in old golf balls, spray painted them and tied them on the rope. He used hot glue on the ropes near the knots to keep the balls at the ends.
We had a lot of fun playing the game. I think we played it on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
If you have any questions about the game let us know.

Well, ain't that nifty! The bola's look like the old clackers we used to play with as kids...only they were big hard marbles that got banned from our school because too many people were knocking themselves in the head with them....
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
