Today was the opening day for the Chicago Croquet Club. This is official professional USCA croquet on super smooth courts, real heavy mallets, heavy balls, skinny strong wickets. And wearing all white. Well… Laura and I weren’t in all white. But the 30 or so people there, almost everyone was wearing white. (and about half of those people never played on an official court, so how did THEY know to wear white? odd).
It was lots of fun. I highly recommend anyone to try playing on a court like this. Your shots are soo much more predicatable, so it’s excellent for the novice. I posted pictures up on my site.
Cool pictures! You should give them captions
croquet sure was groovy. yeah, everyone got the “white” memo but us. but hey, that tribune reporter picked us out as human interest pretty fast! it pays to be yourself.
