06.01.2022 While our lawns are closed for maintenance we packed up our mallets and balls and played some Croquet on the Mersey Bluff Beach. The slope was a little bit challenging, lawn(sand) damage was easily repaired and yes you can do a successful jump shot on sand. One onlooker took photos to send to his mates in England (is that a bit cruel when they are in winter and in lockdown). Games stopped when the waves were lapping the sideline .
