That is extremely specific...I'm sensing a reeeeeally good story!

I remember the exact day and date because it was my first and last experience with straight tequila shots.

I played when I was a kid. Sort of. My grandparents used to take me and my sister along when they went to visit I think it was my grandfather's cousin in Mystic Island, New Jersey. They lived on the bay and had a setup in their front yard. I remember having no idea how to play and neither did my sister. We just took turns shooting the balls through the things like as if we were playing miniature golf. Every so often, a ball would go into the bay and we'd just start over with another one.

Played as a kid and it was fun. We had a set with a little wheeled cart that held all the pieces. One of my siblings probably has it, but I haven’t seen it in many years. We also played bocce and badminton.

We played it as kids. We had a set as did a few other families in the neighborhood. Somewhere over the years our set got tossed from my parents’garage.

We have a set, it gets used a couple times a year at the most.

I remember growing up my grandparents had set. My cousins and I would play...well we would hit the balls, I don't think we knew the rules or the actual objective of the game.

We had a set as young teens in the early 70s.
