Golf Croquet has some great tournaments with a lot of serious play. This season once again we will be competing in the Croquet Central Districts (CCD) interclub to which we are looking forward to. We won it for the season 2025/26 using 17 different players throughout that period. A most impressive result.
The XYZ & the Round Robin Handicap Singles competitions were run in 2 divisions. Partners drawn.
The 1st division "Juniors" is for those with a handicap of 12-16 who are either just starting out or non competitive.
The 2nd division "Seniors" is for those with a handicap of 0-12 who are more competitive and don't mind being thrashed all over the Park.

This tournament will only be held within our own club due to having so many members which doesn't warrant including outside players. What a great time everyone had, especially those in the higher handicaps who were paired with a lower handicapper - some very interesting play.
