Cornhole Games Going Strong At Shemar Moore’s House
People.com reported on Moore’s recent Cornhole activities lately.
In an Instagram video, Moore showed off some of the fun at his seven-bedroom, 9-bathroom Los Angeles mansion.
Moore and friends have the show’s co-stars and crew members playing Cornhole so much they have a serious league of sorts. Co-star David Lim and technical advisor Odie Gallop appeared in the video with top American Cornhole League stars Trey Burchfield and Noah Wooten.
The video also showed off Moore’s putting green and pool. The mansion also has a movie theater.
The “S.W.A.T.” group has its own Instagram page with a bio saying, “Chasing bad guys by day, slinging bean bags by night.”
In November, Moore has an affinity for the game, telling TV show host Kelly Clarkson that the game is “serious business at (his) house” with weekly games.
Moore went on to say how big of a business the game was – even mentioning that sports network ESPN was showing its games.
Moore talked about buying Cornhole boxes, setting them up 27 feet from each other, and his overall mansion set up in the People article.
His “S.W.A.T.” co-star Lim had even made special Casa Del Sham rings on them as a lovely tribute to Moore. The rings come into play as those who compete seriously can win and take the ring during tournaments.
