Spring/Summer Games

  • What does everyone play for some outside games during the summer? Polish horseshoes and ladderball seem to be pretty popular. Is there any other big ones?

    Never heard of polish horseshoes? Maybe it's a Nebraska thing.

    I will try and explain....

    Take two 1 1/2" PVC pipes about 7-8' long. Bury them into the ground so about 6' of the pipe is above ground about 30' apart. Place an empty beer bottle on top. You have two teams of 2 by each pole. Each team takes a turn throwing a frisbee trying to knock off the beer bottle while the other team is try to not let the beer bottle and frisbee hit the ground. If the frisbee hits the ground it's 1 point, and if the bottle hits the ground it's 2 points. You play to 21. Oh and you have to have a beer in one hand the whole time essentially playing with on hand. It can get pretty wild. Fun times.

    Basically with frisknock you get two pvc pipes that you can set beer on 15 yards apart. Teams of two holding a beer at all times. The goal is to knock the beer off the pipes. You can't cross the pipe line either catching or throwing. If the receiving team drops the disk its one point. If the post gets hit and the beer drops, its 3 points. If they drop the disk and the beer falls, its 4 points. Only the throwing team can score. Play to 21. Oh and you have to shotgun the dropped beer. Strategy is key. Here are some pics of us playing in the Grand Canyon.
