On a spectacular fall day, even though it was summer by the calendar, those who could make it played 3 rounds at Mar-A-Lawno on course #1. With only four players the rounds went quickly. The course was fast. Surferino won the first two rounds. Sticky Wicket won the last round.

Sticky would have been  awarded the SOD, Shot-of-the-Day, for his great shot from the 4th to the 5th wicket despite a constricted ball position. However, the SOD had to go to Surferino who stroked a once in a lifetime shot also from the 4th to the 5th wicket. With his red ball lying millimeters beyond the 4th wicket and with no decent conventional swing possible, Surferino straddled the 4th wicket with his back to the 5th wicket. Using a two-fisted grip high up the shaft, he swung his mallet through the 4th wicket between his legs sending his ball downhill with just enough momentum to softly nudge the yellow ball lying 14" from the 5th wicket for a roquet! You had to be there folks.

Droner, an out-of-towner who hadn't played croquet for quite some time, became increasingly competitive each round, nearly becoming Poison his last game. He also answered medical questions and dispensed advice about combating moles, voles and wild turkeys. A true Renaissance man.
