Blueberry Island again. The yearly cabin trip with some friends.

Meador likes to build games he's seen at parties, using PVC pipe. This year he brought a game that involves tossing golf balls tied together by a rope at horizontal poles.

None of us know the true name of the game, but have come up with several of our own (most of them based on the fact that the hanging balls sort of look like testicles). Dangle Balls. Sling Sacs. Battle Sacs. Drape Nuts.

Since the set is homemade, the balls frequently break from the ropes ("sac-cident") and need to be repaired by Meador.


Comments:
We have this game in CT. I shall ask my friend what the name of it is tomorrow.

But your names will be better.
 
Ladder Golf (or ladder ball).

I learned it as "redneck horseshoes", though.

Great game.
 
In Kansas we call it redneck golf.
 
Isn't horseshoes already a redneck game?
 
I know this game as "Hillbilly Golf."
 
I've heard "hoosier golf" and "monkey ball" in St. Louis. On the east coast, nobody has any idea that this game exists.
