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 against the stake in the middle. |
|
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. A really good player is apt to
'run the court' by managing an all around break
making all the hoops in one turn. |
|
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. |
|
SIMILARITIES |
|
The game is similar to billiards, whose origins may be traced to croquet, the strategy of chess and the patience of golf. |
