Spring is here. Time to play some croquet golf!
Croquet golf levels the playing field between those with experience, and those who, shall we say, prefer barrel-aged mimosas. It’s like playing nine holes of golf with a few...modifications. Instead of clubs, you’ll swing mallets. Instead of golf balls, you’ll use croquet balls. And instead of sinking them into holes, you’ll be driving them into metal pins complete with numbered flags and built-in bottle openers.
The Harvard Club of San Francisco and Dartmouth Silicon Valley will supply members and guests with the equipment they’ll need (mallets, balls, numbered flags...) to master the brave new lawn-gaming world of croquet golf.
On the day of the event, you’ll load up a cooler with barrel-aged mimosas (or whatever), grab a few fellow alumni, and head to the San Francisco Croquet Club. Once the pins are planted in strategic locations (water hazards and densely populated picnic blankets are fair game), it’s time to tee off. You’ll keep score just like normal golf—every hole is a par-three, and at the end of nine holes, to the victor go the spoils.
And the Spoils are the best....
Note: Introductory lessons will be provided, so no prior experience is necessary. Liquor is permitted in the park. Flat-soled shoes are required (heels not allowed).
