Choose the correct penalty spot
The correct penalty spot is not always the one furthest away
from the hoop being contested. Blue runs hoop 6 gently, Black is ‘out of the
picture’ near the East boundary and Yellow is off-side. Red will take position
at hoop 7 and from the East penalty spot (A) Yellow has a good chance of
blocking Blues clearance on Red because Yellows shot is played along the
'blocking line'. Making Yellow play from the nearer penalty spot (B) and across
the blocking line will make it harder for him to achieve a decisive block.
Hi Ed. I stumbled upon your blog and enjoyed the read. Are you still writing your 101 Tactics for Golf Croquet book? I'd be curious to read your other tactics. Please email me if you have any additional tactics available. Thanks! - jch7@georgetown.edu
