4th of July quoit champs again!

[JL8Jeff]

For the 3rd time in the last 4 years my brother and I won the 4th of July quoits tournament. We should have won it last year as well which would have been 4 in a row, but the other team made a great throw at the end to put a ringer on top of 2 leaners I had. I think there were 36 teams this year and it was 99 degrees. Everyone asks how often we practice and I told them I had only played twice all year until the 4th. I think you just need to drink enough beer, smoke enough cigars and you will intimidate the other teams. I'm obviously an intimidating person! :rofl:

No, horseshoes is twice the distance and my arm is calibrated to quoits! :lol:

Ha ha. Isn't that the truth. I played horseshoes over the 4th, but I was used to heavier shoes than what the people had. Got a bit exciting, and a little embarrassing.

Yeah, no ****. It was pretty epic.

I guess this makes it 4 out of the last 5 years, we won the quoit tournament again this year. :lol: I think everyone hates us now, especially when they find out we don't even practice or play very often. We played a couple of games at a memorial day picnic. We had the biggest turnout so far this year with 45+ teams so it's a good time and seems to be growing.

Is this like horseshoes but with discs?

Pretty much, also 1/2 the distance between pins.

Ah cool, yeah my neighbors play it. Looks like a good time.

It's pretty big in our area so we've been playing for 25+ years. It's played at almost every picnic around here. I've only thrown horseshoes a couple of times and never really got a feel for it. It's kind of funny that we used to get mad because the same teams would win all the time and now we're those guys. :mrgreen:

[FoodStampsz]

where is such tourney? I know harry's does something every once in a while or at least they used to before they built that giant strip mall

[JL8Jeff]

Titusville on the 4th of July. Behind the school after the parade. It's been part of the 4th of July for a long time. It's just local people and kids playing but it keeps drawing a bigger crowd each year.

[Tru2Chevy]

Is it behind Lore?

Is it behind Lore?

No, the old Titusville school on River Drive. I think it's privately owned now and is called The Titusville Academy. They close down River Drive for the parades and food and 50/50's.

[Tru2Chevy]

Ahh, ok.
