Kelsyus Premium Ladder Ball

Ladder Ball, Hillbilly Horseshoes, Rodeo Golf... no matter what you call it, this classic lawn game never gets old. Points are scored by landing the golf ball bolas on different ladders and in different variations for hours of fun. This particular ladder ball set stands apart from others as it's made from wood rather than PVC so you'll have to make the loser take it back inside so it won't get rained on.
