My father in law recently made some corn hole boards for us. Do you have any favorite lawn games?
Would tennis be considered as a lawn game? I guess I like football or soccer if your American.
Tennis is probably the closest of those sports you mentioned. Lawn games are essentially anything you can play in a residential yard: lawn darts, bocce, lawn bowling, etc.
I don't think I have a favourite then. I guess darts would interest me. By the way what is corn hole boards and how is it played?
Corn hole is where two teams attempt to score points by launching bean bags at boards with holes in them. If your bean bag lands on the board, you get a point. If you get it in the hole, you get three points.
Sounds like a fun game for the family and a great day out. I think if lawn games can get the whole family out into the sun I'm all in.
Lawn game
A lawn game is an outdoor game that can be played on a lawn. Many types and variations of lawn games exist, which includes games that use balls and the throwing of objects as their primary means of gameplay. Some lawn games are historical in nature, having been devised and played in different forms for centuries. Some lawn games are traditionally played on a pitch (sports field). Some companies produce and market lawn games for home use in a front or backyard.
History.
The lawn
being a part of it. In his book "Forty Years of First Class Lawn Tennis", published in 1924, he wrote: "As for lawn tennis in conjunction with the Olympic Games, the whole thing is a inconguous farce. You could as well have Olympic cricket or Olympic golf. It is difficult to believe that players or public can treat the matter seriously or care two straws about it. Why it is wanted, or tolerated, when we already have the Davis Cup, is beyond my comprehension."
