National Croquet Day - 2008
Nov 30, 2008
The Grand Haven Croquet Club gains recognition by the USCA.
MOST EXPOSURE FOR OUR SPORT
The 1st place winner in this category is THE GRAND HAVEN CROQUET CLUB of Palm Coast, Florida. Their November 8th event included a golf croquet competition and “skills” stations. The Club added 16 new USCA members to our roster! They communicated to the entire community an invitation to learn this “fabulously fun and challenging sport”. That same evening they held a dinner celebrating the day’s events and “the joy of the game of croquet”. The club has increased their membership this year by 25 members, thus reaching a 90-member club. One of the reasons they believe their club has grown so quickly is the user-friendly system they have in place for beginners to learn the basics of the game. They offer free lessons and furnish mallets for the lessons. All members then joining the club are required to join the USCA. And their learning continues with more classes, clinics and tournament play. President Frank Benham and his club members will receive a full one-year paid subscription to “The National Croquet Calendar” courtesy of Publisher and Editor Garth Eliasson.
