Robyn Dart from Busselton Croquet Club, came out tops in the two-day ‘Selectors’ Six’ Golf Croquet Tournament held at the Nedlands Croquet Club over the weekend.
Robyn won 2 of her 5 matches in a very closely fought series of battles between all 6 participants. Harry Goff from Como Croquet Club beat Robyn in his match against her, and ended up with the same number of match and game wins as Robyn.
However, Robyn pipped Harry by 7 hoops overall, so Harry came in as the tournament’s Runner-Up.

Members of the MX-5 Club of WA enjoyed a lovely, cool evening of croquet, pizza and soft drinks when attending its annual ‘Croquet Night’ on 27 Feb 2024.
This was the 12th year the MX-5 Club of WA had visited Nedlands Croquet Club, and attendees required very little coaching as to how to swing a mallet, as they were able to recall the basics from previous visits.
However, the game is not just one of skill, but tactics as well, which takes years of play to master!

Sherrie Lowe from Merredin, a newcomer to the game, struck the ball solidly with every shot at the recent 2024 Hyden Summer Nights Carnival – even with a baby in her arms!

These are the words from one of the participants in the group picture below who had enjoyed her introduction to the magical game of golf croquet during her firm’s annual Christmas day out!
The participant was thanking Basil Ladyman, one of many volunteers at Nedlands Croquet Club who are on hand to guide newcomers to golf croquet on the skills, tactics, and fun elements that make up the game.
