Enfield Croquet Club 2009 Results

Golf Croquet League

Our 2009 Golf Croquet league proved to be not only successful but an ideal way in which new recruits got the chance to become acquainted with the vast majority of club members during the course of the competition. In addition many participants found that the league became a major learning experience in relation to both the tactical and technical aspects of the game when playing against some of our more established members, especially those who represent the Club in competitions. All in all this league was great fun, a pleasant and sociable experience and for some an ideal learning curve which made it very much worth while. Final Standings as at 13th December:

So a big thanks to Terry for the, at times, somewhat taxing task of not only running this competition but for also keeping everyone up to date with the latest league tables and games outstanding.

The 2009 organiser Terry James had this to say on the closing date of the league:

On behalf of the Committee I'd like to thank all those who participated, especially everyone who managed to complete all their matches. There were as you may be aware a few teething problems which included injuries, illness, conflict of preferred playing days, holidays and more particularly the wet weather towards the end of the competition. New concepts don't always necessarily run smoothly or meet with the approval of all. But with the lessons learnt by both the organiser and those participating I feel we should be able to refine and improve things for the coming season should we decide to repeat the exercise.
