Par 3 Goofy Cornhole

~ georgecornhole ~ 2 Comments

So we played the 150th Fort Thomas Sesquicentennial par 3 goofy cornhole golf tournament on July 5th at Tower Park.  Boards are spaced quite a distance apart, sometimes at an angle, with hazards in between. They had 9 holes setup around the play set area. We played 2 rounds. Dirc Lindeman won with 2 birdies despite putting one bag on the pavilion roof and one in the tree branches!   Robin came in second beating me by 1 stroke.  Her distance throwing was impressive. They are the King and Queen of goofy cornhole golf.  I’m taking a Midol and going to bed early.   Goofy cornhole golf is not a recognized international event anyway.

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.

TPCA celebrated it’s 9th anniversary of beer, bags and brotherhood with our annual Spring Fling !   Six highly skilled teams competed for the coveted prize of Birddog Whiskey.  The winners were Steve Hensley and Steve Miller.  Clearly a stacked deck.  Hens brought the cake and Dirc brought wings, beer and prizes.  Good thing we have an athletic director to figure out the complicated bracketology.  Lots of fun and we played till after 12.

ACO Competition

On March 25th George and Bill entered the ACO Cornhole Madness competition at the OK Horseshoe Club.  This was a sanctioned competition against the best players in the world.  George took 2nd place in the Seniors (55 and over) Singles competition and Bill got 3rd place.  In the Open Singles Bill went up against Matt Guy the World Champion and got Shicked!  He was hoping to just score 1 lousy point.  Tough break on the draw.  Maybe if he had his own personalized shirt, he would have done better.IMG_6077

A March Shick

The weather was so nice March 9th we played outside again.  Apparently some people had become too accustomed to the short distance at the pub and could not handle the official distance of 27 ft.

Maybe it was the wind gusts, or maybe they just sucked.  Tom Meyer and Dan Orem got Shicked first but Tom and Bill Keefer ended the night with the losing Shick and now have the cans.  Nice job Dirc and Wally .  Oh – but Tom was Shicked twice in the same night but not back to back so he just barely avoided a Dirc.  Maybe a Meyer ?

Rare February Outdoor Event

For the first time in TPCA history we were able to play cornhole outside in February.  We had a rare, warm 70 degree day and decided to take advantage of it. It was a nice break from playing in the smokey pub.  The boards had been refurbished with new vinyl tops and the score towers had been rebuilt – Keefer proofed.  We also had brand new ACO official bags.  And there was a Shick !  Dan Oren and Nick Gates bit it.  Great start to the 2017 season.

2016 Christmas Beer Exchange and Cornhole Spectacular

~ georgecornhole ~ Leave a comment

The traditional Christmas Beer Exchange and Cornhole Spectacular was held at John’s factory in Wilder.  We exchanged beer and had plenty of appetizers and snacks.  There were 6 teams that competed for prizes of Jim Beam.  The winning team was Mark Schweitzer and George Schurr.   There were no Shick’s, Roy’s or Dirc’s but there may have been 1 Toe Tag.  Bill was fined for un-sportsman like conduct and equipment damage. Thanks to John for hosting and Dirc for helping to setup.  Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for a great 2016 year of Cornhole and Bro time.

2016 Pub Crawl

Last night we had our annual TPCA Pub Crawl.  We do this every year because Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday so Cornhole can’t happen.

Started at The Olde Fort Pub, then went to Fort Thomas Pizza and Tavern, finally ended the night at the Midway.   Great time!   Here are some photos of the night.

2017 Fall Toss-off

These are photos of the TPCA 2017 Official End of Outdoor Season Fall Toss-off and Cornhole Extravaganza.  We had 5 teams in a blind draw, double elimination tournament. The unlikely winners were the team of Steve Miller and Dan Orem. Expect the unexpected!

Along with an assortment of appetizers we ate fabulous home made chicken wings supplied by Dirc and homemade sausage supplied by Wally.  Steve Hensley utilized his skills as an athletic director to configure and manage the bracket. No Shick’s no Dirc’s tonight.  It was a warm night for November and a great night for cornhole.
