I have learned a new thing. One may play cornhole. Professionally. Oh.

More fun in public, in a group setting, with onlookers.  Makes lining up the sack with the hole all the more challenging.

Yeah, I remember seeing a tournament in passing on ESPN (a cable network devoted to sports) while at the gym.  Amazing that this is both considered a sport and something that can be done professionally (it's kind of like how curling is an Olympic sport).  It makes one wonder what else could have become a professional sport, or yet might yet become it, under the right circumstances.

I am so disappointed. Frown That's not the definition of cornhole I grew up with.  It sure wasn't played in the backyard in teams, either!  If it was in the backyard it was in sleeping bags in the dead of night. There may have been just a brief flash of light to help locate the equipment. Our game was better because there was no loser. It was win-win!
