6/17/21 – Perfect summer evening with a very low cicada count. We celebrated our 13 year anniversary with a beer exchange and tournament. We had 6 teams in our standard blind draw, double elimination tournament. The big winners were Bill Keefer and Andy Miller. Congratulations! Andy is a two in a row winner. He just draws the best partners. Now that we are at 13 count for shots is that less likely than 12 ? Is there a statistician in the house ? Also congratulations to Bryan for winning the Highlander. Too bad about your trophy but you earned it for missing cornhole.

12/10/20 – Blessed with great weather for December ( mid 40’s and dry ) we decided to have our 12th annual Christmas Beer Exchange and Cornhole Spectacular outdoors due to Covid. We had 9 teams of the finest players ever assembled in one tournament. Dirc and Zach managed to crawl their way up from the losers bracket for the big win! Hey we’ve seen these two in the winners circle before!

No Shicks last night only because Eric couldn’t play due to unexpected out of town company. Priorities dude.

Lisa came through at the final hour with the embroidery work on our beanies ! Thanks Lisa ! Goetzy made an extra donation of Evan Williams for the winners ! Very nice.

It’s been a weird year with Covid but cornhole has helped us through it. Getting together every Thursday and having so much fun is really the best medicine. Thanks to all for another fun year and major thanks to Leta for tolerating us every Thursday. You’re the best dear ! Here’s to a safe and better 2021. It has to be, it just has to be.

Merry Shicksmas to all !

Last night we were finally able to play!   After many weeks of lockdown and social distancing our governor (Andy not Steve, Johnny) decided to let us gather in groups of 10 or less. Well we might have miscounted by 1 or 2  but we had our TPCA masks on for extra protection!   Though our throwing skills were a little rusty we still had a fun night.  And there’s always next week.

12/26/19 –  It was about 60 degrees and we just could not pass up the opportunity to play outside.  I mowed the yard on Christmas Day (that was actually thrilling), washed the bags to get the grease off, and got everything out from winter storage.  We had a fun time, but no Shicks.  Great way to finish off the year.

 

 

We may have had one of the best fall Toss Off tournaments ever.  The air was crisp, the vibe was n-dimensional, our bags were hot, and we were all in a very competitive, winner take all posture.   We had 7 teams of semi-pro players.  Dirc and Andy just had it all and laid waste to the rest of us loser wanna-be’s.  Gorman and Roy were hopeful but really, really lacked the skills    The competition was so hot last night we experienced 2 Shicks.  Can’t recall the first round but the 2nd round was Voodoo Doc Schweitzer & Coach Goetz.   Well deserved.  Great end to the season.  We were really challenged in the spring since we had so much rain that we had to use the tarps almost every week.  Then in the fall the 6 week drought just killed the grass. What a nightmare for the poor underpaid, overworked, and under appreciated Facilities Manager.  Thanks to all in the TPCA Brotherhood for an awesome fun filled 2019.  Looking for more fun with bags in 2020.

HOLD THE PRESSES !   Late update.  Just noticed that Dirc has won the last 3 Fall Toss Off’s as well as the 2019 Spring Fling and the 2017 Christmas Beer Exchange.  Dirc is obviously on a lucky streak with his partners !
