GC State Coach on Interstate Shield Results

Posted on 14/09/2018 by admin

The Golf Croquet State Coach would like to thank the team, reserves and supporters both at the venue, and back home, for their efforts in the recent Interstate Shield event. The team performed incredibly well to finish second in a tight contest against stronger NSW and Victorian teams than last year. The comeback against NSW was particularly pleasing, and we were very professional in the matches against Tassie, Qld and SA. There were a few errors against Victoria that will become learning experiences for the group.

The coaching group will be doing a review on what needs to be done to attempt to again move that tiny bit ahead of the others. This is not a post mortem as the patient is definitely not dead!

Nedlands Court Improvements

Posted on 02/08/2018 by admin

As many know it was mooted that Nedlands would not be a venue to be used for the Nationals to be held here in Perth in 2019, due to the ‘fall off” on the eastern boundaries of courts 1 and 2. A number of individuals from several clubs decided to rectify this. This was with no thought of reward other than in the best interest of Croquet in WA.
The work was difficult, and exacting, but it was a delight to see members of several clubs working together purely in the interest of having good croquet venues here in Perth.

Thanks go to Basil Ladyman who drove the project along with the Kanga!, Jeff Locke, Alan Sands, Peter Pekaar, David Williams, Val Hogan, Sandra Stevenson, Barb Wilson, Gaye Matthews, and Richard Lee were all there with shovels, rakes, levellers and good humour. The good humour and energy was maintained by a continual supply of food and drinks. Nedlands Club would like to thank them all for their great work.
