It seems a trip this summer would not be complete without stopping to see how the croquet court is doing.  Obviously, if Fred ever needs a reference as greens keeper he'll have no problem getting one from this blogger!  Did you ever see a court so thick and lush?  If I were a kid again, or perhaps a dog in a different life, I can just imagine taking a roll on that grass.
According to Fred, Terry has been trying different mowing techniques.  The first time out was a diagonal mow.  This last time it was just a straightforward up and back mow.  Word has it the diagonal left a better result.
The next time I post, you should see a real croquet game on that court!  I'm already practicing in my mind...
