4/19/24 – After 3 weeks of rainy Thursday’s we had one of the nicest days for our annual Spring Fling corn hole tournament, 75 degrees and 37% humidity. We had brand new bags, courtesy of the facilities manager, but the decision was made not to use them because they were fast and the lower skilled players would have a hard time scoring with them. So we used the old, worn out, broken in, floppy bags that practically slither into the holes on their own.
There were 8 teams just burning to win. We have never before had this level of competitive furor! Mike Kessling and I battled it out with Brad Bardo and Zach Hurt who came up from the losers bracket to challenge us, but lost the 2nd game in a hot 2 point match. Zach was on fire but it just wasn’t enough. Better luck next time, guys. Thanks to everyone who cheered for Brad, it really made him feel better about himself. He’s really quite fragile. Congratulations to Mike; this was a first-time tourney win for him, and my first since the Fall Toss Off of 2021.
Also thanks to the facilities manager for restoring the grass which had been destroyed in the fall from the hot dry weather and weekly foot traffic. Excellent work. Everyone in the group really appreciates your countless hours of hard work keeping the field in top condition.
Up next – 16th Anniversary Tournament of Champions; with new bags.
We have way too much fun on Thursdays!
Last minute update…shout out to Steve Hensley for recovering from his surgery and throwing after a long hiatus. El Diablo is back…almost.
