It was a wonderful day for croquet. Abundant sunshine with a stirring wind. The second day of summer. The course was well groomed. The music was age appropriate and the beer was cold.
Five Cowabungas convened to play a new and challenging course. Mallethead, Wick O'Shay, Mr. Wicket, Surferino and Leftie played two rounds. Sticky Wicket was late to arrive and asked to serve as Leftie's caddy until Leftie fired him for failing to line up an easy wicket shot. Thereafter, Sticky tried to attach himself to each front-runner to bask in reflected glory, such as it was.
Surferino took the first round. Mr. Wicket won the second round. Wick O'Shay hit the shot-of-the-day (SOTD) by aceing the middle wicket from a great distance, leaving himself a short shot on another Cowabunga. Leftie executed his new strategy of staying back and allowing others to sacrifice themselves to the leaders. The strategy did not produce the desired result.
