8/18/18 –  Crisp fall evening. Very crisp. Temperature dipped to 41 degrees. Undaunted TPCA had their annual Fall Toss Off tournament.   We had 8 very competitive teams all determined to win.  Rob Roy, the champ from the HHS Classic tournament this summer came with lots of swagger and smack talk but no game and was eliminated early.  The dream team of Dirc and George prevailed despite heavy competition from the losers bracket team of Steve Miller and Adam Sonnet.  Steve pulled off 3 ponies in the final rounds but George was able to airmail many bags and go over most of his wimpy short throws and blocks.  Dirc held his mud against Adam and wore him down in the final game!   There were even a couple of Shicks. Billy & Doc Gates got it first but Danny O. and Andy ended up with the cans.  They think they won something.  One more thing – Bryan was flying in from Chicago at the last minute and saw the bright lights of the emporium from 10,000 feet !   I bet you could see it from the space station.  I’ll check with NASA sometime or just call them directly.  I think I have the number somewhere.

TPCA represents !   HHS Cheerleading hosted their first Cornhole Classic tournament this Sunday afternoon at the Public House in Fort Thomas.  TPCA brought 5 teams along with boards and bags. In a double elimination tournament, the self selected team of Dan Gorman and Rob Roy won!  Second place was a team from Campbell County and 3rd place was Schurr/Schweitzer. The Dream Team of Meyer/Lindeman lost in the second game after soundly defeating a team of 8 year olds that had never played before.  Congratulations to the winners, even though they self selected, clearly violating TPCA protocols of fair play. They are still welcome to play with us on Thursday nights. No disciplinary action will be taken at this time.  Next year draw a card like everyone else!

June 14th 2018 the TPCA celebrated our 10 year anniversary playing cornhole Thursday evenings.  The weather was perfect!  We had 18 players ( 9 teams if you divide by 2) in a double elimination tournament. Due to a totally skewed draw the big winners were Tom Meyer & Steve Hensley. Congratulations!  It was a really fun evening and no one got hurt primarily because Steve Miller didn’t play with his knives.  Billy and Wally are on double secret probation for missing the event. Thanks Evan for the great photos!

Late breaking beer fog recollection –  there was a rare double Shick :  Elliott and Bryan got Shicked by Danny G. and Bruce who then got Shicked by Doc S. and Andy.  Bahdabing Bahdaboom,.

12/14/17 –   TPCA once again had it’s annual Christmas Beer Exchange and Cornhole Spectacular.   We had 8 teams for a blind draw double elimination tournament.  Dirc hosted at Jones Spring Company and we had plenty of beer and snacks.  The winners were Tom and Dirc.   There were two Shicks.  First Andy/Goetz then Nick/Bruce. Merry Christmas to the new keepers of the can.  Be sure to decorate them properly.

9/21/17 – We had our annual Fall Toss Off and Cornhole Extravaganza!   We had 14 players, great weather, new landscape lights, and a freshly coated driveway.   The winners were Dirc Lindeman and Rob Roy.  The latter only shows up when there is free beer and a prize to win.  He prays all day and gets a great partner that carries him to the win then leaves before the end of the night.  Run Preacher Run … take your whiskey and run.   Chicken. We’ll see you for the Christmas Beer Exchange and Cornhole Extravaganza.

The annual Michael Bradford Memorial Tournament was cancelled at the last minute so we created an adhoc tournament in my back yard. We had 6 teams and we each put $10 into a pot for the winning team.  The weather was great and we all had a lot of fun. The surprise winners were Steve Miller and Mark Schweitzer – jeez we will never hear the end of it.
