The Club runs a preliminary tournament for the Grass Roots Golf
Croquet Competition which is open to beginners without a handicap
and high handicappers with a golf croquet handicap of 6 and over.
The competition is played as a series of 13-point doubles games with
a change of partners after each game. The top four players play a
singles semi-final and final and a number of players depending on
the size of entry go forward to a regional final. The entry fee of
£5 is paid by the Club.
Result: Nick Archer went on to win the
national finals.
This is the second time in the last 3 years that this national
competition has been won by a Watford player - John Walker won it in
2005.
