Last week, Chuck Rhodes from ABC27 came to Messiah Village to film an Out & About segment about our upcoming croquet tournament. As a part of the segment, he attended our croquet practice day to get an idea of what our upcoming Wicket on the Green croquet tournament will look like. Steve Fluder, owner of Croquet Your Way and our consultant for this tournament, began the practice by explaining the rules so everyone would be on the same page.
When I was younger I played quite a bit of croquet with my sisters and grandfather. Once the games began and I grabbed my croquet mallet, tons of great memories came rushing back! We played so often my sisters and I could set up an entire croquet course by ourselves with little help from our grandfather.
It was so nice to be back out on the croquet court. The best part was laughing and spending time with great friends from MV. Once you start playing, it’s very easy to catch on to the rules, and it’s just one of those games that brings a smile to your face! If you haven’t signed up to play in the upcoming Wicket on the Green croquet tournament on April 24, I enourage you to visit www.WicketOnTheGreen.org and sign up today. Be sure to tune in to ABC27 on Monday April 12 at 6:00 p.m. or Tuesday April 13 at 12:00 noon to catch a glimpse of last week’s practice day.
