Memorial Day Foursome

A fine afternoon at Mar-A-Lawno for croquet. The north wind cleared the sky. The afternoon, late spring sunshine made for t-shirts and thirst. The number 4 course was deployed by Miguel Miguel. The grass was high and dry. The ball required a more powerful impact to drive it a long distance.

The four Cowabungas in attendance included Sticky Wicket, Surferino, Lefty and Mr. Wicket. Evidently, Mr Balls will be visiting this week to take his semi-annual beatings.

Lefty twice killed Surferino to win the two rounds. In game one, Lefty hit the SOD (Shot of the Day).   He hit Mr. Wicket near the wicket to earn two shots. Deciding to send Mr. Wicket’s ball beyond the wicket to be available for  another roquet, Lefty barely moved Mr. Wicket’s ball. With one shot left, Lefty applied his billiards technique smacking the object ball and his ball through the wicket. He again hit Mr. Wicket for a second roquet.

Of note, the second game resulted in everyone’s becoming poison.
