HORSESHOES: Sports for the over 50+ Crowd
The 2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge
My challenge for this year… I am planning to complete the A-Z Challenge this year by sharing an activity in which I still enjoy competing.
The Sport: HORSESHOES
The Season: Spring/ Summer/ Fall
The Rules: Click Here
The Thrill: Thrill One- Throwing a ringer! Thrill Two- Topping and opponent’s ringer!
Full Disclosure: I LOVE THIS SPORT. There are many games that I will be a great sport and allow for competition when I am playing a weaker player. In fact, in most sports, this would be true. Not true in horseshoes. Attempting a ‘bad throw’ can really sidetrack your game. If you can’t stand the heat…. Watch!
Written for the April (2016) Challenge: Blogging A to Z. Sports for the 50+ Crowd.
Looks like lots of fun.

Never considered playing this… but I remember reading about the men in Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men and how they played horseshoes for entertainment when they had a bit of down time!

It is a great deal of fun… and it does take more skill to master than one would think!
