CROQUET BASICS |
|
CROQUET BASICS |
|
|
The basics of croquet are simple. Hit a ball and take croquet or score a hoop – otherwise sitdown. The object is to completely travel around the court scoring all hoops with both team balls and pegging out. |
|
|
SPECTATING THE SPORT |
|
|
The sport of croquet is played on well manicured lawns and surrounded with great social atmosphere. A good part of the game, even for its competitors, is spectating. |
|
|
ADVANCED PLAY |
|
|
It is common to see one player advance his partner ball through its remaining hoops whilst going along in a single turn to end the game. A single turn might last a half hour or longer. |
|
|
SIMILARITIES |
|
|
The game is similar to billiards, whose origins may be traced to croquet, the strategy of chess and the patience of golf. |
