18th!

~ georgecornhole ~ Leave a comment

6/25/26 – Our 18th Anniversary Tournament of Champions was delayed by a round of annoying, light rain.  But the entire yard was covered with tarps, and after 15 minutes, we were good to go.  We had 5 teams in our usual blind draw, double-elimination contest.  George and Jack lost in the first round but kept winning in the losers bracket until the last game, where they were defeated by Dan Orem and Donovan in a very close round. 

We also watched some of the World Cup games and Billy and Wally got shicked which added to the fun. Since Billy already has the can only one can needs to be moved!

We have way too much fun on Thursdays!

5/21/26 – Congratulations to Dr. Schweitzer for running a very successful re-election campaign! He won in a landslide. Last night we dedicated our cornhole fun to him with free beer and bourbon.

Hopefully he can now recover from his Post Election Stress Disorder!

Spring Fling 2026

4/302026 – Last night, we had our annual Spring Fling Tournament. We had 6 teams for our usual double elimination, blind draw tournament. Mike and Dan Orem were dialed in and won easily.

The famous General Thomas bourbon was given as the prizes. This has become our standard. It was nice to have the founder of the brand at the tournament this time!

To make the evening really special, Zach and Billy got Shicked. Now Billy doesn’t have to move the can!

Freezer Bowl 2026

2/5/2026 – Last night, we had our annual Freezer Bowl Tournament of the Inuit. We only had 5 teams, just too cold for the decrepit and softer members. It was 14 degrees with about 10 inches of snow, the artificial turf made it easy to clear. We were amazed at how comfortable we were in such low temps, but it helped that there was little wind. The dream team of George and Muff won again; same team that won at Christmas. What are the odds on a repeat pairing? Well with only ten players it’s about 11%. Go figure.

Hang in there Donovan, it’s going to be ok.

Addendum: Funny thing, it was so cold our beer started freezing into slushies toward the end of the evening.

Christmas Spectacular 2025

12/18/2025 – We had our annual Christmas Beer Exchange and Cornhole Spectacular tournament at John’s building in Wilder. We had lots of appetizers and beer! There were nine teams in our usual blind draw, double-elimination tournament. The dream team of Muff and George won, but it wasn’t easy; a couple of the games were way too close. Muff’s new haircut must have helped him play so well. It was nice to see the occasional players there. The prizes were General Thomas Bourbon with a special Christmas message. Fun times for all! Merry Christmas.

Fall Toss Off 2025

10/9/2025 – Our 17th annual Fall Toss Off Tournament had a special prize this year!

It was a perfect, cool, crisp evening for our Fall Toss Off. We had 6 teams in our usual blind draw, double elimination competition. George and Dan Orem won in a very close 1 point game. The prize was a bottle of General Thomas Bourbon with a special message for the winner. You can hear this message and see the General by scanning the QR code on the bottle.

Eric Schurr and Steve Hensley managed to get Shicked to make the evening even more special. Eric’s first tournament and first can.

17th Anniversary Tournament of Champions

6/12/2025 – Our 17th Anniversary Tournament had some unexpected guests! Matt Guy and his son Bret dropped in from Alexandria, KY. Matt is a repeat world champion player in singles and doubles with his son. https://www.cornholeaddicts.com/cornhole-pros/matt-guy/ He has thrown 72 bags in a row in the hole – in competition! He is also a member of the Northern KY Athletic Hall of Fame for cornhole, only in Kentucky!

Unfortunately, they decided not to compete with us in our tournament. They may have noticed our skill level and were either scared or disappointed, but they did give us a little pre-tourney exhibition and some autographs.

We had 7 well balanced teams that all competed to a very close finish. Mike and Steve came back from the loser’s bracket to ultimately be defeated by Bill and Muff in the second round of the finals. Two in a row for Muff (rising star)!

Besides the customary prizes of Bourbon, the winners also received autographed bags from Matt & Bret! Very cool!

Thanks to Eric Gindele for arranging the Champs visit. Great surprise!

We also handed out new black and white, retro 3/4 sleeve T shirts for everyone. Thanks to Hens for the cool design.

We have way too much fun on Thursdays.

2025 Spring Fling

Image ~ ~ georgecornhole ~ Leave a comment

5/6/2025 – What a lousy spring. Way too much rain with lower than normal temperatures. But we had to make a go of it regardless. The forecast originally called for the rain to stop in the late afternoon or early evening but it just kept coming. Finally, about 8:30 pm it stopped and we were able to wipe everything down and start the tournament. The new artificial turf was awesome because it drains well and does not hold water, so the bags stayed much drier and the playability was still good. That turf is a game changer.

We had 6 teams ready to compete. Muff and George went all the way to the final bracket undefeated. The Wallinator and Dan O came up from the losers’ bracket and won the first round in a nail biter, 20-21. But Muff and George buckled down and beat them easily in the second round to win the tournament.

Unfortunately Donovan claimed that due to new phone issues he didn’t know he had to bring the prize, so there was only 1 bottle for the winners to share. He might be morphing into a Miller. Fortunately, Susan bought Mark a really nice bottle of Angels Envy so that made it better. Susan, thanks for taking care of Mark!

The capper of the night was the after tournament fun play when Mark and Donovan got Shicked. There is a known risk to playing the last game of the night.

Kudo’s to Zach for making it after being gone all week and flying home just 2 hours before. You might find this helpful https://attorneys.superlawyers.com/divorce/kentucky/fort-thomas/

Opening Day 2025!

3/13/25 – After what seemed like the coldest, longest winter in many years, we finally had a decent weather day and managed to get those members who have been in hibernation out of their houses! We had a nice crowd for the grand introduction of the new artificial turf playing surface. What an awesome upgrade from the concrete grid system. Now everywhere is flat and level – no more dead grass, no more mud, and no more junior boards!

P.S. Mark and Bruce got Shicked in the first game.
