ABOUT CROQUET
Croquet at its most basic is a sport played on grass using six hoops, four balls and two mallets. It's a mix of snooker and chess, but on grass. It is a game of skill and strategy, with precision and touch as important as hitting that long shot across the lawn.
In golf croquet, a hoop is won by the first ball to go through each hoop. Unlike association croquet, there are no additional turns for hitting other balls. Each player takes a stroke in turn, each trying to hit a ball through the same hoop. The sequence of play is blue, red, black, yellow. Blue and black balls play against red and yellow. When a hoop is won, the sequence of play continues as before. The winner of the game is the player/team who wins the most hoops. READ MORE...
Croquet is a very old game, widely known and practised in France since the XI century under the name of 'jeu de mail'. Borrowed by the British around 1300, it was modified over the centuries: the Scots made golf out of it, the Irish turned it into croquet.
Before becoming the revelry of racket play that we know today, Wimbledon began its life as the All England Croquet Club. By the early 1870s, lawn tennis was affordedv the opportunity to shine in front of an eager public, as the headquarters for croquet would be renamed to The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club.
Egypt is of unique interest, since GC is known to have been played in "rest-houses" of the irrigation authority, public works and public health administrations, as well as those of Banks and cotton ginning mills. It also existed in the courtyards of prominent British officials where games were played amongst family members and friends.
The Gazette of 14 April 1921 describes an AC tournament held in March 1921 at the Al-Guezira (13) Sporting Club in Cairo, states that it was the first tournament since 1914, and that the Club now had six lawns. READ MORE...
