Croquet Novices Enjoying the Greens!
Jim and Cathy Crawford love introducing croquet to new players, which is exactly what they did recently at the club. As you can see, everyone had a great time. Croquet is a great game, it's easy to learn and fun to play. If you're intetrested in trying the game out get in touch with us or simply drop by the club, you'll find an enthusastic group waiting to show you the ropes.
