THE inaugural Coffs Coast Regional Doubles and Singles Golf Croquet competition brought a blaze of colour to Sawtell courts recently.

Players from South West Rocks, Smithtown, Urunga, Sawtell, Woolgoolga and Coutts Crossing stun shot, roqueted and jumped their way around the course for three days.

The idea of a regional Championship was the brainchild of Catherine Waters, a member of both Urunga and Sawtell croquet clubs, and a pennants representative who saw a need to further develop a sense of community amongst the region’s croquet clubs.

In the doubles championship Block A Winners were Paul Schofield and Simon Cook (Coutts Crossing).
