The story is that ladder ball originated with the American cowboys who used split rail fences and their cow wrangling Bolas (Bolos) to play the game. Ladder Ball, also known as Bolo Toss, can be played as teams or individually. It is similar to horse shoes, but can be played in the back yard without the wear and tear on your lawn.

The object of the game is to toss your three bolos, which consist of two golf balls connected by nylon string, to the opposite goal trying to wrap them on one of the three bars. The winner or winners are the first to have exactly 21 points. The wonderful thing about this game is that the rules can be easily modified to fit any age or skill level.
