Thanks to my part time job as valet parking I get to see parts of a rich world I would normally ignore. I once did some valet work at a croquet center for a birthday party. It was my first chance at taking a look at what the game was all about. Quite interesting I have to say though I don't see myself missing football season for it. KInda boring if you ask me, interesting but boring. Not my cup of tea. So,

Iquiring Minds Wanna Know:

Have you ever played croquet? Did you like it? Why?

The sport of croquet was born in the British isles in the mid 19th century and soon migrated to most other English-speaking countries. In the United States, manufacturers popularized a version of the sport that could be played on rough turf with lightweight, inexpensive equipment. It is this lightweight, scaled-down, toy version of croquet which most Americans have either seen or played.
