Golf Croquet
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 (new) golf croquet handicap of 9
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.
This national competition has been won by a Watford player
twice in the last three years - John Walker in 2005 and Nick
Archer in 2007.
The 2008 tournament was held in two blocks, on Tuesday 10th
and Friday 13th June respectively.
