We had 9 players this afternoon. Unfortunately, yours truly made a mistake in setting up/starting the tournament in the software. This meant that I had to track the points manually, and I screwed that up, too! We wound up with an "incorrect" final 4, but didn't realize it until the final was in progress. Apologies to Mark Dopheide, who should have been in the final 4.

In the "final with an asterisk", Ray and Al G won a closely contested final game against Kathy and Al W.

We had a relatively small turnout, with 5 players. Still fun, but more the merrier. In the finale, Bruce Foote and Mark Erwin edged out Al Geelhaar and Darlene Foote. The Footsies are on a roll!

We had 9 players come out, on a very warm late February afternoon. When the dust settled, Kelli Dopheide and Bruce Foote bested Ray Sullivan and Jeri Voyles.

Our first ever Saddlebrooke Cornhole Club Championship (teams) was a fun and successful event. 11 teams participated. We played double elimination. Bags to Riches (Ray and Mark) went undefeated through the winners bracket. Pitch Perfect (Al Weigel and Al Geelhaar) lost their first match, and worked their way through the losers bracket. They edged out Team Berkley (Laura and Bob), who took third place (bronze medal). The final was anticlimactic, as Bags to Riches dominated. They are our new Club Champions, taking the gold medal. Pitch Perfect settled for second, and a silver medal.

We had 11 players. After the initial 4 rounds, the top four in points played for bragging rights. Laura Berkley and Mark Dopheide defeated Kathy O'Connell and Al Weigel. This is Mark's 2nd straight win, but who's counting?

Note that there will be no drop-in next Saturday, 2/21, as we are holding the Pick Your Partner tournament then.

We had 17 players, with quite a few new faces joining us after attending the Activity Fair. Nice to see 8 of the courts in use! Bob Berkley and Mark Dopheide edged out Al Weigel and Darlene Foote in a close final contest.

We had about 40 folks show up for a fun afternoon of cornhole fun and competition. The club provided water, soft drinks, and snacks during the first 2 hours, with lots of casual play. After the social part 11 competitors participated in a "Switcholio" tournament, where the field narrowed to the four players who were tops in points after 4 games. In the grand finale, Ray Sullivan and Bob Berkley edged the husband/wife team of VaNette and Carter Luther.

Everyone had a great time, and we're already looking forward to the next combined social/tournament event, tentatively scheduled for Saturday February 7th.

Yesterday the SBHOA2 BOD approved our club’s request to install lights at the Cornhole Facility. Now the work begins. We as a club need to fundraise for this project. Your BOD has set a goal of $6000 for this project. This is a small amount for a great club benefit.

Our Fundraising Committee will shortly advise their plans for a fundraising activity.

In the meantime, you can donate to this cause right on our website. There is a donation tab setup. Under that tab there is a fund specifically setup for the lighting project. Every little bit helps and gets us closer to our goal. There are several ways to make a donation. Remember that all donations are tax deductible as we are a non for profit club.

Every donation regardless of size gets us closer to our goal. We can begin installation once we hit our goal.

We have 2 leagues that play on Monday afternoons:

Social (for those who are more about fun than competing) and

Competitive (for those who enjoy competing).

We're midway through our 2nd session in each league. We'll have a 3rd one for each group. Social will start on 2/2, and Competitive will start on 2/9.

Email Larry bigbird32047@gmail.com if interested in Social, or

Email Rome rbyount@gmail.com if interested in Competitive.

The leagues are open to all Cornhole Club members.

Our club website is now available as an app at both the iPhone App Store and Android Google Play. More...
