KATHY VINCENT I have written before about the various types of “Croquet “ We have Association, Golf Croquet, Ricochet and Gate ball at Bribie Island Croquet Club all very different games. Golf Croquet is the most sociable game. Having said that you have to be very sneaky and make sure the opposition does not make the hoop. Clever tactics come into play. Do you try to put your ball between their ball and the hoop? The problem with that is they may be able to do a jump shot, jump over your ball, and make the hoop. Hmmm! That’s not a good idea then. Let's think again. So, shall I try to roquet their ball well away from the hoop? The trouble then, my ball may be miles away from the hoop too. I could try a stun shot. That way I ground my mallet as soon as I hit the opposition, my ball is in front of the hoop now and the opposition is too far away to make the hoop so with luck I might just get this hoop!!!! Phew, you can see how much thinking we have to do and that is as well as remembering what colour my ball is and what colour comes next. The first colours are blue, red, black, and yellow and play in that order. The second colours are green, pink, brown, and white, fortunately, the pole in the middle of the court has the colours on to remind me so you see: - Croquet is an impossibly difficult exercise, Played by incomprehensible rules by venomous and tenacious people who have a tendency to swear under their breaths!! But it is actually great fun and there is time to RELAX with friends. Sometimes we have a social get-together after the games with lots of fun and laughter. Why not come and join us come and watch us play you might think “yes this is the game for me “ See you there.
