Ladder Golf

When it comes to playing games, there are some activities that really hold everyone's attention for hours and can be played over and over again, and then there are others that really fizzle out before they even get started. Ladder golf is one of those time-honored games that is just perfect for family afternoons in the backyard, for keeping guests happy and entertained while you are hosting a backyard picnic or other event, or even for taking with you to the park, to the beach, or some other outdoor venue. The game is fun, is suitable for most ages, and is also easy to pack up, tote around, and set up, too. 

Space.
When you set up your ladder golf game, you will want to make sure that you have plenty of space available and that nothing valuable or breakable is behind the ladders. The bolas are going to be tossed into the ladders, and there is always the possibility that a hard toss could break or knock over anything that is behind it. You may find that if you play in your backyard, playing with the ladders set up a few feet away from a back fence is an excellent idea. In a park or other outdoor venue, set the game up away from where most people will be walking or standing to avoid hitting others with the game. 

Sets.
The easiest way to get started playing ladder golf is to purchase a set, which should include everything that you need to get started. Most will provide you with at least two game ladders, at least two sets of bolas, a game bag, and often a set of rules, too. You may find that you want to purchase additional ladders and bolas separately so that more people can join in the fun, and these pieces are easily found in many game stores and websites on their own.
