Editorial Reviews

Midwest Book Review - Buhle Buhle
The simplest of things can prove the hardest to let go. "Cornhole: Throwing Bags in a Hole" is a deeper dive into what seems like the simplest of games . Outlining the standards and rules of what Cornhole should be, Mark Rogers explains the game and the deeper aspects that are not readily apparent. Thoughtful with plenty of advice to be the champion of the next tailgate game you see, "Cornhole" is a fun and useful read for those who enjoy this simple yet something more event.
The Outdoor Games Blog - Jeremy Lindh
Cornhole, Throwing Bags in a Hole is a fun, light read. The book is a wealth of information for anybody who is just getting started with the game, but is also a good read for anyone who already spends far too much time tossin’ Corn bags. Mark Rogers has done a great job of putting together a really nice guidebook for the game of Cornhole. Rules, strategy, building, slang – it’s all here.

    What a cool book - must have!!

    Outdoor Games Blog says it all:
    "If you're looking to throw a cornhole tournament, the chapter on running a tournament is worth the price of the book, all by itself. The author has put together a great collection of information that would be invaluable when planning your first tournament. There are excellent bits of wisdom from tournament director Michelle Cahill, of NEO Cornhole.

    If we're being honest, I might be biased. but I really enjoyed the chapter on the Cornhole Builder Community. I loved that the author took the time to discuss my personal favorite facet of the game. Board building and customization, and the community that has formed around it, is a special part of the game for me, and I'm honored he took the time to mention it!

    Strategery. What's better than tossing tips from the pros? An interesting chapter that covers different tossing styles and strategy during game play. Some great bits of info in this chapter, for sure.

    Cornhole, Throwing Bags in a Hole is a fun, light read. The book is a wealth of information for anybody who is just getting started with the game, but is also a good read for anyone who already spends far too much time tossin' Corn bags.
