This group of youngsters from MAN UP, a not-for-profit, peer-to-peer education service in WA, has a goal to, ‘Enable young boys to embrace healthy masculinity’. 

And that’s exactly what they did on a showery and overcast Sunday afternoon in June 2024 on the lawns of our Club!

Not even the inclement weather could stop these talented and naturally-skilled players from taking to their new, favourite sport!

Robyn the best of the six!

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 about to execute a jump shot over her own ball!

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.

MX-5 Club of WA graces the lawns of Nedlands Croquet Club for the 12th straight year!

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!

‘What do we do now?’

If a beginner can play good shots with arm full, imagine how well you could strike the ball with two free arms!

Thanks Basil. I just loved it!

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.
