with the wonderful temps (yes! Spring is in the air for me!) we've been experiencing, i'm very much anticipating badmitton w/baby slice....
i also love frisbee, but, no one 'round here 'throws' and it's kinda hard to play with yourself & i :wub: receiving! lol

also, hillbilly golf & cornhole are so much fun....i think lawn jarts are outlawed now, aren't they...?? LOL
and i can't even begin to explain how much i miss my tramp. :( & don't even get me started about my pool......

What's your fave backyard games?

Baseball with tennis balls.

Also, I know its illegal to sell jarts, but I think you are allowed to own them. Now, if you hurl one through somebodys calf with an errant toss, you may be looking at some jail time.

Golf cart tag is one of the greatest events ever created. :D On the down side the injuries and cart repairs make it a very expensive recreation activity. :o

We should have a RC Olympics. I would pay a sizeable amount of cash to watch the RC regulars compete.

I still have my old set of Jarts. Anyone remember these? I think they lasted about a year before they took them out of the stores because of people getting hurt. I get mine out every year. It kills time when I have the bar-b-q or smoker going.

BTW: I don't play corn hole. Only because I remember what George Carlin said, about what two guys did to each other in prision was called corn hole. Ever since I heard that comedy tape years ago, no corn hole for me LOL The name kills me!

I bet the rings have a ton of holes on them at this point. You would think back in the day that people would have observed the holes on those rings and come to the conclusion that the children probabably shouldn't be playing with them, lol.

I might be able to run 7 and 1/2, but any thing over that I start leaking oil and pulling to the right.
