Intro

Used to be that Croquet was actually contested globally - at such venerable an institution as the Olympics. Had the players at the Olympics demonstrated the sort of gusto and fanaticism that Baba's Croquet Club inculcates, well we may still have croquet on the Olympic roster. But the players in 1900 were obviously boring as all hell, and the IOC decided to put the sport down early on.

Baba's Croquet Club, located just East of B-Street in Fairfield, Iowa, owes nothing to those croquet players except to be thankful that they're not around any more. This is a whole new breed of mallet-eers, inspired by such greats as Graham Chapman and Calvin (sidekick of Hobbes). Most amazingly, the BCC is located on Larch Avenue, in a local "Field of Dreams", between corn stalks and an original Iowa barn.

This blog, just in case there was any confusion, is to document the valiant excesses, depraved indifferences, and dumb luck that befalls those who step on to Baba's manicured pitch. If you are a current or ex- contestant of the course, and would like to provide your $0.02, we welcome you.

Let's get it on!
