Golf Croquet

The format for play in the Club Golf Croquet competitions was changed in the 2009-2010 playing season to make for more meaningful competitions and recognise the importance of Golf Croquet.

Prior to that the Handicap Singles & Doubles were each one day events. The doubles paired players with different partners against different opponents. There were two winners (possibly more if a tie) - a low handicapper and a high handicapper - with winners determined by hoops. The handicap singles had been played by fitting as many matches in as possible in the day.

It was recognised that existing GC events should be expanded, and a club championship instituted as well. The events now closely mirror the pre-existing AC ones in terms of their formats (see the Trophy document for details).
