About Ladder Golf
Ladder Golf is a lawn game played by throwing a bolo (two small balls connected with a rope) at a three-rung ladder. Different rungs of the ladder are worth different point values, with the goal of the game being to get exactly (and not over) 21 points with three bolo throws. Success in the game relies on both chance and skill.
Ladder Golf also goes by the following names: Bolo Toss, Hillbilly Horseshoes, Hillbilly Golf, Polish Horseshoes, Redneck Golf
Playing Ladder Golf
Preparation
- You will need a three-rung ladder that has been made specifically for the game
- Mark a throwing line about 4-5m from the ladder
- Decide who goes first
Play
- Each round consists of all players tossing 3 bolas
- From the throwing line, each player takes turns throwing their three bolas at the ladder
- The score for a round is calculated according to which rungs the players bolas are on:
- Top rung – 3 points
- Middle rung – 2 points
- Bottom rung – 1 points
- Bonus Point – awarded if a player has all three bolas on one rung, or one bolo on each rung
- The winner of the round throws first in the next round
Scoring
- The game ends when the first player reaches 21 points exactly
- If you score more than 21 points, your score is not counted
