AC GC in perfect harmony

Competitors for the Home And Away Tournament

Harmony before the battle commences. The “slight rain” on Friday 4th, which caused disruption at Corfu airport and port, also delayed the start of the tournament.

Changing the format to 1st to 4 enabled many games to the played. With no overall winner from the games meant that a final shoot out between two of the British, AC, players was required and then between 7 of the Corfiot, GC, players.

De-mole

The latest update from the April 1st newsletter is that the “mole-hills” have been identified as soil produced as our work party team prepared lawn 4.

We have really been busy doing the remaining lawns before the next downpours
began! Not moles but cores of earth, waiting to be raked, shovelled and borrowed
away!

Croquet Advice (2203)

Double Tap, Crush, Push & Pull

If your ball is close but not touching another ball, or close to the hoop and you are not sure you are going to get it right, always get your opponent to watch your shot. We are generally playing friendlies so everyone will be more than happy to advise and help you on possible crushes, pushes, pulls or double taps.

Double Tap

When 2 balls are close and the 1st balls hits the 2nd and rebounds against the mallet.

Crush

When the mallet crushes the ball against the wire.

Push

When the mallet keeps contact with the ball to steer it in another direction, other than a straight line or to accelerate the ball when the backswing is limited.
