Golf Croquet The Club runs a preliminary tournament for the Grass Roots Golf Croquet Competition which is open to beginners without a handicap and higher handicappers with a 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, to be held at home at Watford on Saturday 30th July. The entry fee of £5 is paid by the Club. Winners from the Regional Final proceed to the National Final, to be held at Northampton on Saturday 17th September. This national competition has been won by a Watford player three times in the previous six years - John Walker in 2005, Nick Archer in 2007, and Frances Skinner in 2009. This year the preliminary tournament is on Tuesday 31st May 2011. |
