Lefty, Mr. Wicket, Wick O'Shay and Surferino played two rounds at Mar-A-Lawno. Round One went to Wick O'Shay, despite his love-hate relationship with the flower bed separating the upper and lower lawns. Round Two went to Mr. Wicket. Lefty did the hard work of killing Wick and Surferino before being eliminated by Mr. Wicket.
The shot of the day (SOD) was Lefty's long distance direct smash into Surferino's red ball.

Despite the howling offshore wind, the cool temperature and vague sunlight, Mar-A-Lawno was the location of the Mr. Balls is here let's play croquet event. Also, it was Leftie's birthday.
Initially, six players showed, including Sticky Wicky, Leftie, Mr. Balls, Wick O'Shay, Surferino and Mr. Wicket. After a few wickets, Sticky announced that he was feeling the call of the surf and needed to get wet. So, he left. Good riddance! On Leftie's birthday, Sticky decided that attempting to surf in crappy waves was more important than beating down Leftie and making him feel old.
The first game was won by Surferino who was left a short kill shot after Mr. Wicket missed a kill shot on him. During this game, Wick O'Shay demonstrated how to power through the foliage separating the lower lawn from the upper lawn. Later, Wick also demonstrated how not to attempt to power through the foliage.
The second game ending was the reverse of the first game in that Mr. Wicket won with a gimme after Surferino missed a kill shot on him. A text was received from Sticky who, playing the victim card, complained that good friends would not have let him leave to attempt to surf crappy waves.
All in all, it was grand to resume playing croquet at the fabulous Mar-A-Lawno. Kuddos to Mr. Wicket for curating the splendid birthday mix for Leftie and grooming the course.
