| Max Woolf Wins Men's Maskew At Gosnells | 22 Jul 2009 |
Bunbury croquet player, Max Woolf returned triumphant from Perth after competing in the Men's Maskew tournament at Gosnells.last weekend. Woolf, who has been playing for only five months, chose the popular handicap event to be his first foray into competition outside his own club. With the advantage of a beginner's high handicap and being an unknown player, he blitzed the competition and finished the tournament without losing a game. No doubt his handicap will be trimmed accordingly for future tournaments but with his speedy improvement in his playing ability and his quick understanding of the tactics involved in the game his future in this very challenging sport looks promising. Fellow Moorabinda club player, Kim Reynolds, also played well in the tournament to finish third |  |
