Give croquet a try

Although it has been Christmas and New Year, there has still been plenty of action around the courts at Noosa Croquet Club in Seashell Place Noosa Waters.

Members have their own keys and while normal club play days have still been reasonably well attended, there have been plenty of players making use of their keys and playing early mornings and late afternoons, often with family.

Mid-January, attendance is getting back to normal and playdays are well attended. The court renovations during December/January have all been completed and the court surface is running true, and though warm, the cool breeze coming through from the school oval next door is making court time in the lush surroundings of the well-tended garden surrounds a pleasurable experience.

Once again, we remind anyone interested in having a look at one of the best sporting settings in Noosa and in seeing how the sport of croquet is becoming so popular, to come down to Seashell Place Noosa Waters. Our usual time for come and try is Sunday mornings and any time from 8.15am onwards our trainers will be only too pleased to show you how this extremely competitive and strategic game works. If interested, ring Niven on 0428799987, or just call in.

Recent beginners during 2022 have done so well, we are currently organising an early bird competition in golf croquet for those newbies who have not yet competed elsewhere. This will take place over the next month and someone will become top recruit of 2022 – what an honour.

As play gets under way, there will be competition for those places in the three levels of interclub kay, which does not commence for a couple of months. Plenty of time for practice. The first major event of the year will be Noosa’s participation in the regional Sunshine Coast Championships which will commence in March. Noosa will be hosting two events during this period on March 11 and March 25 where players from clubs all over the Sunshine Coast will be enjoying competition on the five well-tended courts at Noosa.

Remember, call in any time and talk to us, we are happy to show you around.
