Dean Norton's Cornhole Biography
I am ACL Pro Dean Norton from the Northwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL
The first time a I played cornhole was about 2 years ago in the backyard at my parents house at a family BBQ. I played for hours that day and just was not very good at it. My competitive side took over a little bit and I went out and bought regulation boards and bags. As soon as I got everything in the mail I took a week of vacation off work and I played 7 days straight about 12 hours a day and I was finally able to throw a flat bag. I watched a ton of cornhole videos on you tube and any where else I could find it to try and learn the strategy aspect of the game. I find now that the more I practice the better I continue to get. It has sense took off for me and I am enjoying every minute of it. The people that I have met throughout my travels is honestly the best part.
