Marble Club Super Dome | Kentucky Life | KET

In Monroe County, skilled sharpshooters take aim in the strategic marble game of Rolley Hole, (pronounced roley) which has been played for a long time in a six-county area of southern Kentucky and northern Tennessee.
In rolley hole, teams compete on a 20- by 40-foot course to get their marbles in three holes in a certain order to earn 12 points and win. Defense is played by knocking an opponent's marble off course.
Games are played in the elaborately named Monroe County Marble Super Dome on the local fairgrounds.
Marbles are locally made using flint stone because glass would shatter with the powerful hits. Several members of the Monroe County club have won national and world titles, including the World Marble Championship in Great Britain.

Very cool. Over the years I have collected marbles and my favorite collection purchase was from Kentucky.

This is truly a great past time, wish I could spend a few days there getting to know everyone and learn how to play.
