Toss the carrot down the hole

In the photo you can see another of the games that we played at the clubhouse recently. We took up one of our corn boards and the idea was to toss carrots through the hole. The carrots were made of some strange plastic-like material. I think it might have been silicone. Each person was given four carrots and whoever got the most carrots through the hole received a big chocolate and everyone else who had a go got smaller chocolates. As I’ve said in other discussions about the evening, there was plenty of chocolate being handed out.

That is a funny game. We had something similar to play on the beach, rounds to throw at sticks.

@moffittjc Vince is complaining because the vegie crisper is full of chocolate - well, nearly anyway.

No, I didn't win the big prize but I did win several minor ones and went home with a nice lot of chocolate.

No, not really. Cornhole toss uses two boards and is huge in America but not played much here.

Overall I came home with quite a lot - and I also have Vince's share too as he's not fussed about too much chocolate.

It was a lovely balmy night with no mosquitoes or flies. We were very lucky although we don't have a lot of either here. I'm glad you enjoy the photos.

I like games where everyone wins!

Or maybe I just hate to lose. Carrots in the pic look soft and somehow sticky, like candy.

They were a bit sticky. I think they were probably made of a silicone material. Yes, games where everyone is a winner are fun to play.

That's a lot like the game corn hole toss. Except they use bean bags instead. No chocolate prizes though...

We made our own cornhole toss and have bean bags but for this game, they asked to borrow one board and used the carrots to throw.
