• Why I got my tat: My wife four years ago found out about a place that was holding cornhole events on a weekly basis Wednesday nights. She knew that I enjoyed playing. We went and I was amazed how far advanced the game has become. All the different types of bags and ways to throw them. I was intimidated by it since I was just a backyard player. I decided to try playing the following week. Once I got there and started throwing everyone was very friendly and very supportive and was willing to give advice on how to throw. When I went to my first Major in Las Vegas the same support and friendship of everyone at the tournament made me realize how much the ACO is all about Family and Friends forever.
