Horseshoes is a game of endurance more than anything else. Winning boils down to whoever’s arm can hold out the longest. With the winning score set at 21 men hold a great advantage over women – had the ending score been set lower the sport would make all sexes equal (that along with making the pits closer together.
Such are my excuses for losing after holding a six point lead halfway through the game.
Boccie is a more evenly matched sport – except when one is holding a baby whose capacity for carrier sitting was used up during a lengthy horseshoe match. The physical demands of Boccie being much less however allowed for victory even though severely handicapped.
Such went a beautiful Sunday evening at the park.
