Cornhole: Tossing Bags and Taking Names Since... Forever!

 As backyard afficionados, here at GOODWOOD, we know what makes your backyard POP! Is it a lush lawn, a manicured garden or a pool? 

They all help, but what you really need is our cornhole game! (& a goodwood garden shed, of course)

Cornhoooooole!

If you think cornhole is just a simple backyard game, think again! This global sensation has been keeping people entertained for centuries – and it's about time you joined in on the fun! From its mysterious origins to its world-conquering ways, cornhole is the ultimate mix of skill, luck, and pure, unadulterated fun. Let’s dive into the wild and wacky history of this epic game.

From Ancient Grains to Global Gains
Legend has it that even back in ancient times, people couldn’t resist the joy of tossing something into a hole (some things never change, right?). Whether it was bean bags in Native American tribes or mysterious hole-throwing contests in ancient Germany, our ancestors were getting competitive – and probably a little rowdy – with their version of cornhole. Fast forward a few centuries, and the game exploded in the U.S. Midwest, becoming the cornhole we know and love today.

Cornhole Around the World
You didn’t think it stopped at the U.S., did you? Cornhole (or "bean bag toss," "corn toss," or whatever cheeky name you prefer) has made its way across the globe! It’s found in backyards, beaches, pubs, and parks. The best part? You don’t need to be a pro athlete to get into the game. All it takes is some bags, a board, and a good sense of humor when your aim goes wild – because let’s be honest, there’s always that one friend who overshoots by a mile.

Make It a Corn-tastic Day!
So, why should you care about cornhole? Well, imagine spicing up your BBQ, adding some laughs to your next camping trip, or creating a showdown at family reunions. Cornhole is your answer! It’s easy to learn, incredibly fun to master, and offers endless opportunities for smack talk.
