Since 2005, the field of
the Arizona Open has been held down to a maximum of 12 entries due to
our reduced staff at the Arizona Croquet Club. But the tradition
of having fun has never left us. A smaller tournament has grown
into a great core group of players, a good percentage of which are
still
playing at the top of the game.
