Hillbilly golf

REDIRECT ladder ball

Hillbilly golf is a game that is played with 2 to 4 players. 1, 2 The playing field is made up by two posts with three cross members made up of 1/2 PVC tubing, with an 18 inch gap between cross members. The base needs to be at least 20 inches from ladder to front/rear. You need two of these to play, twelve golf balls, and six foot long pieces of string (1/4 in). You first must drill holes in your golf balls and knot the string (one foot lengths) such that both golf balls are at opposite ends of the string (bolo). When you set up the field you place both towers 30 feet apart (40 ft for official national). If you’re playing with partners, you and your partner stand adjacent from each other on opposite ends of the field. When your turn is up you have three sets of balls and string, six balls tied in with three strings. You then throw one at a time alternating with your opponent to the left or right. The pair who scores last throws first.

You score by getting your string to stay on one of the horizontal cross members on the opposite tower. You need 21 points to win. The scoring goes from three points on the lowest bar, two points one middle, and one on the top. (This varies as some count the top as three and the bottom as one.) Three bolos on the same cross member is counted as a double score. You can "skunk" your opponent by throwing and setting all of your strings on the same cross member and your opposite gets no strings on the tower. You can skunk your opponent at any time during the game. If you set a string on a cross member and your opponent sets his on the same cross member they cancel out.
