Another Great Golf Croquet Video

In honor of the WCF World Golf Croquet championships, I had to post this awesome little segment of great golf croquet shots. I've got to try this game.

Ahmed Nasr Continues Egyptian Dominance

It looked like the Egyptians might be in danger of finally losing the WCF Laidlaw Golf Croquet World Championship this past weekend in South Africa. Local favorite Reg Bamford took on Ahmed Nasr in the finals with a home crowd behind him but fell in four games during the best-of-five final.

For Nasr, it was his second world championship with his other title coming in 2004. The Egyptians now have won all eight of the golf croquet championships.

WCF Golf Championships Down to Eight

Checking in on the WCF website, the Laidlaw Golf Croquet Championships are down to eight players. American Sherif Abdelwahab lost 4-7, 4-7 to Khalid Younis (Egypt) in the second round knockout.

The Egyptians are impressive as they have six players in the final eight. Six-wicket world champion Chris Clarke is still in the mix as well as Reg Bamford.

I will saying following the event has me very interested in the game. I've been checking out the rundown on the USCA site, and I'm convinced I'll be giving this game a try this summer.
