Bunbury Moorabinda offers two codes of croquet, Golf Croquet and Association Croquet. Association Croquet is the international version of the sport and is played by the majority of tournament croquet players. In this game, two players or sides each have two balls. The objective is to score 12 hoop-points and a peg-point with each ball before the opponent does the same.
This game involves strategic play and earning additional strokes to play breaks and score many hoop points in a single turn.
On the other hand, Golf Croquet is a game that has recently experienced a resurgence of interest at all levels. Compared to Association Croquet, Golf Croquet has simpler rules and is more interactive, with each turn consisting of a single stroke. Accuracy and tactical awareness are still required in this game as players follow a course and contest each hoop in turn. As soon as one hoop is scored, all players move on to contest the next.
For individuals interested in learning how to play both codes, the website provides a synopsis of the game as well as the basic laws of each code. The club also offers coaching resources and links to external websites and resources that may be helpful.
