This past weekend, the Chesapeake Bay Croquet Club in Hartfield hosted the World Croquet Federation’s 2024 Golf Croquet World Championship final.
The final match was best three-of-five games that took about five hours to complete. The final match was a slug fest between Australia’s Robert Fletcher and U.S.A.’s Blake Fields.
Fletcher had a better win/loss record over the entire event, but on finals day, the 18-year-old from Palm Springs, California, prevailed. The finals went to a full five games with some back and forth of momentum. Fields pulled it all together with a nearly flawless final game, winning 7-0.
