Croquet Convergence June 2, 2018

With Mr. Balls rolling into town, five Cowabunga's, Mr. Wicket, Lefty, Wick O'Shay, Surferino and the aforementioned Mr. Balls,  assembled at 4 p.m. to play two rounds of croquet at the fabulous Mar-A-Lawno. Miguel Miguel arranged the traditional course, enhancing it with the addition of two pink flamingos guarding the upper lawn. A colorful curated selection of age-appropriate music was enjoyed by all.

Near perfect conditions greeted the players who basked in the afterglow of the prefunq. Under an unclouded sky with moderating wind and abundant sunshine, the grass seemed greener, the music fuller, the lawno chairs more comfortable. The nearby pounding of a hammer and squealing of an impact wrench defiled an otherwise idyllic scene.

With two consecutive victories on his permanent record, Lefty took a commanding lead in the first round and cruised to a third win. Wick O'Shay and Mr. Balls tied for SOD with skillful shots that ultimately did not affect the outcome. Wick scored a long distance roquet. Ballsy aced a tough wicket shot. Surferino suffered a lapse of concentration and wasted a roquet by shooting at the wrong wicket.  
Later on, Surferino sent Mr. Wicket to an early death by missing an easy roquet setting up a poisoned Lefty for two kill shots.

The second round saw Lefty easily take the lead and become poison. Despite Lefty's defending the end wickets, Surferino managed to sneak into position and make a difficult short tap shot to become poison. Lefty's consecutive streak was ended when Surferino took him out with a short kill shot. Well positioned after the roquet, Surferino killed Mr. Wicket (again) to win the round.
