This is the ultimate tailgating or backyard game that everyone, men, women, and children can play anywhere indoors or outdoors. I bought a set at the store and we loved playing the game, but the problem was that they were cheaply built and flimsy. I am building a heavy duty version that should last a life time. The game is very simple to play (similar to horseshoes). You toss a set of balls tied together with a piece of rope and try to wrap them around a bar at the other end. Each bar is worth different points and the first player or team to score exactly 21 points wins. They will make excellent gifts. Mine are made from heavy schedule 40 PVC and I am using real golf balls with braided nylon rope that makes them almost indestructible.

What an excellent idea!! I can see them being in great demand as Christms presents as they're a game for all the family to enjoy together. Much better than the fragile shop bought ones any day!! Very Happy

Thank's Eileen, I have several sets made up and I can build as many as needed. I can sell these for $40 per set plus shipping for anyone interested. I also have brand new sets of rubber balls that are great for children and playing ladder ball indoors. The rubber balls are $20 plus shipping.
