First Shot: Time For A Change

Well, I set out an aggresive mission several months back to treat Croquet Network like a magazine with departments and features every week. While I still think that is the ideal format, I just haven't been able to keep up the pace. On the other hand, some good traffic is flowing through and I love the game. So, I'll once again change the focus slightly. I want to get more content out there, so I'm going to give it more of a blog-like emphasis. Probably shorter posts and less of the drills and product reviews.

First Shot: Six-Wicket Mission Accomplished

I organized my first croquet tournament on July 4, 1998. I was 30 at the time and my wife had plans to get our usual crowd together to celebrate the Fourth at our house. By that time, the summer house party circuit was just about to bore me to death. However, I had an idea -- a croquet tournament.
