Croquet itself is a fascinating and strategic game, with different variations available to play. Association Croquet, the full international version of the sport, is played by the majority of tournament players. It involves two players or sides, each with two balls, aiming to score 12 hoop-points and a peg-point with each ball. The game requires careful play and tactical manoeuvres to gain an advantage over the opponent.
Golf Croquet, on the other hand, has simpler rules and a more interactive nature. Each turn consists of a single stroke, and players follow a course to contest each hoop. As soon as one hoop is scored, all players move on to the next, encouraging tactical thinking and strategic decision-making.
Busselton Croquet Club encourages members to explore both forms of the game and offers opportunities for players to enhance their skills through coaching and practise. Whether you are a newcomer to the sport or a seasoned player, the club provides a supportive environment where you can enjoy the thrill and challenge of croquet.
