Croquet superstar

Jess is showing an early aptitude for croquet. I'm totally gonna be a pushy parent from this day forward.


Here's some insights from the Maui Croquet Club:
Professional croquet is known for its complexity, players say, and is often compared to pool or chess.
"This is a totally different game than what I played as a child," said player Mike Peoples. "I still haven't gotten the rules down yet."
Some players joke that your IQ drops 50 percent the minute you cross the line onto the croquet field. It's difficult to understand, but the rewards of learning are worth it, fans say.
"I like it because it is mental," said Mary Ann Hearn. "It keeps your mind working, even as you get old."


Who says I have too much time on my hands?
