Happy 3-2-1 Friday!
Here are 3 short corny ideas from me, 2 quotes from others, and 1 question to ponder this week.
3 CORNY IDEAS FROM ME
I.
"The most overlooked and underappreciated performance strategy is patience.
(More specifically, consistently throwing bags with deliberate intention over a long time horizon.)"
II.
"Play against the Cornhole Ghost because you have to.
- Play now to build knowledge of your weaknesses.
- Play against the ghost to build muscle memory in your throwing arm.
- Play around with tiny tweaks to your routine while it's quiet and you can tell if it's helpful or not.
Let internal pressure drive you today, so you can handle external pressure after covid lifts."

III.
"The Dutch are up there with the upper Mid-westerners on the nice scale and they love beer just as much. The real question is how to have a 2021 cornhole tournament amongst the tulips in a magical place called Keukenhof 1/2 hour south of Amsterdam next year?"
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
I.
Podcaster Donny The Voice on emphasizing mindset:
"That's what people need to understand - - This game becomes a game of mental inches."
