Who says croquet isn’t a sport?

with 3 comments

So you may think that croquet isn’t a sport, and well, you may be right.  Your opinion may change when you read quotes like this “The game really is like chess on grass; more than half of the effort that goes into winning a match is in your head“  and this:  “I’ve taught several hundred students over the past fifteen years. I don’t expect them to continue to play, but some just want to take it to the next level” from the players and coach of the National Collegiate Croquet Tournament.

I didn’t even know there was a ‘next level’ in croquet, did you?

Well there is and you can read all about, or even join it right here.

I have to say I am actually a big croquet fan.  I grew up playing croquet at the Ord’s and always loved it.  I looked forward to the croquet games at Craig and Denise’s when I got older as well.  The last few times at Jill’s parents I have convinced them to bring out the croquet set to play.

To finish I give my congrats to the Davidson Boys(?) for winning last year and wonder if Under Armor knows they make semi-pro croquet uniforms.

I need to go to this…
