On August 12, 2021 the USPS issued Backyard Games stamps in eight designs. They celebrate the many games Americans play for outdoor recreation. Some of the games are not common here!
I think I figured them all out! If the square being thrown into a hole is cornhole, I got them. Cornhole as an actual competitive sport seems silly to me, I just call it bean bag toss! I was never very athletic, but did like badminton in high school. The birdie moves so much slower than in tennis, and it's so much easier to hit! Frisbee Golf is pretty big in the U.S. So is Pickleball. My neighborhood park just reopened after a year of updates, and it has two Pickleball courts.

I was surprised croquet was played in the US but apparently they play it with different rules! Nice summery set of stamps.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about croquet!
DeleteIt seems like a long time since I've seen people play frisbee (or maybe I need to get out more?)
ReplyDeleteFrisbee and badminton are the only games of this set I am familiar with.

ReplyDeleteYou know a great deal, for not being athletic ;)
Delete:-)
DeleteI am strangely familiar with all the activities shown here.... :-)
ReplyDeleteSo you have fun in the summer! :D
DeleteCornhole is popular in the Midwest. Not so in the Northeast of the USA, where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteNeither here.
