Dave to Be in a Holey Board Tourney This Weekend? Do YOU play?
This Saturday I'll be putting my washer throwing skills to the test at a buddy's for his annual "Holey Board" tournament. That's what he and HIS family call it, anyway. I call it great summer fun!
Come in, take a look- do YOU play?
"David! Are you coming over for the holey board tourney?!" "Heck ya, I am!"
Do you know this game? My friend Al introduced me to it just a couple of years ago. It seems kind of crazy: You stand on a board that has holes in it, and you toss washers across to the OTHER board with holes in it, to score points. Fresh AstroTurf seems to be key to a great Holey Board set up.
I mentioned it to a co-worker, and she said "Oh yeah, we call that 'Washers'- I'm good at it!" "Washers", "Holey Board", whatever you want to call it- the game is great summer fun. It's not extremely difficult, there aren't a LOT of rules, and you can play it after having a couple of beers. It's kind of like bowling- but outside!
Take a look at a promotional video some folks in Arizona put together for their tourney!
So, this Saturday, I hope win my friend's tournament and become "Chairman of the Boards".
