The process is simple. The first two pairs (or individual players) commence at the first hoop with the blue, black, red and yellow balls mentioned last week.
Once that group completes the first two hoops, this makes way for the second group to enter the court and commence play.
At the Yarrawonga Mulwala Croquet club green, pink, brown and white balls are used for the second group.
If required during the game, pairs from either group will make way for players who need to take a shot that may be within their field of play.
As a result, the club are able to accommodate large groups and to host social days.
In September the club will be holding a great social day and more details to come for members and the community in the next few weeks.
