This past summer, my wife and I traveled to North Carolina on vacation from Cleveland, Ohio. We chose the Outer Banks of North Carolina for several reasons, the great weather, beaches, tourist attractions, and of course the southern hospitality that the north often lacks. As we enjoyed our vacation, I began thinking about how awesome it must be for the great residents of North Carolina come winter time. They can do one thing during the winter that I especially wish I could, play cornhole.

This past summer, I had the opportunity to play cornhole with my two sisters and father. My sisters and I live in different parts of the United States, so being able to enjoy my favorite game with all my family means a lot (my wife and mother were cooking on the grill).

To play cornhole, you need two boards and eight bags, four of each color. Cornhole boards are sturdy and last a long time, but cornhole bags take a beating and often wear out. If you buy cheap bags, the price of replacing them quickly adds up. This leaves two options; buy a high quality set of bags made of premium duck cloth or learn how to sew. |

Although awesome, we have all seen lights for cornhole boards. We have sold hundreds of sets on this site alone - the lighted rings that go around the board hole - and continue to everyday.

Cornhole, a tossing game involving corn-filled bags (cornhole bags) and two boards that have six inch holes in them, is not well known in New England. However, Pine Ridge Backyard Games is looking to change that.
Remember when you had to move your cornhole boards out of the rain and play in the garage? You quickly pulled your scoreboard's spike out of the ground and took it with you. Once in the garage, you realized you couldn’t stick it back in the ground because the garage was paved! We’ve all been there. There are a lot of great cornhole scoreboards on the market today, but few that are flexible enough to work under any scenario. Lucky for you, we’ve got one of them.
Lighting up your cornhole board isn't out of the question, but something's missing. On the market today exists a handful of different cornhole light sets that add sex appeal to your cornhole board and hours to your play. One of those very items is offered on this site, the LED cornhole light set.
Wow, another winter down! For some, that may not be significant, but living in the Cleveland OH area makes me especially excited when winter ends and spring begins. As the air continues to get warmer, thousands of cornhole enthusiasts will begin searching for their cornhole bags and boards.
For those who've played cornhole or seen others playing it, they've probably noticed not all cornhole boards are created equal. Beside the usual differences concerning color and logo design lurks a more distinct variation; size.
Customizing cornhole sets has become big business. Call it pride, bragging rights, or an expression of the creator, but people love customizing cornhole boards and bags to make them, well, more them. If you are mulling customizing your boards or bags, take a look at the following ideas that can add to your set’s personality.
Is cornhole catching fire in your neighborhood? The game that involves tossing bags filled with corn at wood boards with holes cut in them is catching fire and gaining both players and fans from coast to coast. With the game's popularity exploding, cornhole bags and boards can be purchased most anywhere. But what about accessories for this budding sport?
Being a bocce player for 5 years, I have played on dirt, gravel, grass, oyster shells, sand, and all kinds of other gravel-like surfaces, but never ice. I must say, the photo below makes me want to give it a try. Not only would it take an amazing touch to roll the bocce balls close to the pallino, it looks like the snow and ice chunks would provide some excellent dynamics.
My friend Jason and I play cornhole, A LOT. What can we say, we love the game. It's extremely addictive and literally provides us with hundreds and hundreds of hours of fun. A few summers ago, we decided to make a set of boards. We wanted to make a great set that differed from other boards commonly found on the marketplace.
Cornhole is an addictive game. Once you start playing it's hard to stop. You get the boards out around 2pm, invite the friends over, and play for hours and hours. And then, before you're ready to pack up the boards and put away the beer, your daylight runs out and the fun is over. Or is it?
If you have every played or been around people playing cornhole, you have probably noticed that some cornhole boards are short and flimsy, while other boards are long and built like a fortress. The reason you commonly see both short and long cornhole boards is because there are two different types of boards, tailgate and tournament. Tailgating cornhole boards are a foot shorter and an inch thinner (sometimes more) than tournament cornhole boards.
Disc golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. With this said, many people are unfamiliar with the sport and wonder what all the buzz is about. In its basic form, disc golf is like normal golf, except a disc (think Frisbee) is used in place of a golf ball and a wire basket is used in place of a hole/cup. So, now you know what disc golf is, but why the title of this post; Where are the women?
