Ladder golf is a new lawn game that is sweeping the country. Sometimes known as bolo toss, ladder golf is an easy game that consists of only a few items a ladder with three rungs and bolos. A bolo is a 13 inch long piece of nylon string that has a colored golf ball on each end. Bolos come in colored sets of three to separate teams or individuals from each other.Teams or individuals take turns tossing the bolos at the ladder from approximately 15 feet away. The object of the game is to wrap the bolo around one of the ladder rungs. Each rung is associated with a number of points. For example, the first rung usually counts for three points, the middle counts for 2 points, and the lower rung counts for one point. Of course, the other team or individual can knock your bolo off a rung, which means you get no points for that throw.At the end of each round (with each person tossing three bolos), the scores are tallied. The goal is for the team or individual to get to a score of exactly 21. If you are close, but go over 21, your points for that round are deducted and you must try again in the next round.You can purchase ladder golf sets online for between $40 and $70 dollars. But, if you have the time, you can build your own for around $20 in parts and material.To build your own ladder golf set, you will need 40 feet of PVC pipe. You will also need a dozen PVC t-connectors and a dozen PVC elbow connectors. To make the bolos, you will need 12 golf balls (different colors in sets of three) and nylon rope. Additional tools you will need include a saw, a drill, and scissors. Cut the pipe into 12 one foot long pieces and six 2 foot long pieces. Put a t-connector at the end of each 2 foot piece of pipe then add one of the foot long pieces of pipe into the t-connectors, making sure they point in the same direction. Repeat these instructions twice more to create the ladder rungs.Using a t-connector, connect two of the two foot pieces of pipe, with Ceramic Fiber Cloth the t-connector in the center of the pipe and the open end facing up. Repeat these instructions once again. Use the elbow connectors to add one foot sections to either end to form the base. Push the ladder form into the t-connecters on the base. Repeat these steps to create two more ladders.To make the bolos, use your drill to put a hole through the center of all 12 golf balls. Cut the nylon rope into 14 inch sections, giving you a half an inch on each end to tie a knot. Put your nylon rope through the hole and tie a knot on one end so it wont slip out. Put another golf ball through the open end of the nylon rope and secure that end with a knot.Ladder golf is a fun game that is easy to take with you anywhere and people of all ages will love playing it.
