The Hazards of Croquet
How many times a year do you swing a little wild and graze the inside ball of one of your ankles? For me, it usually happens during a warm-up swing on an awkward stance shot. I'd say I pull this off about 2-3 times per season. Usually, it's just a minor shot that is creates a pretty good pain sensation. Last week though, I really blasted myself. Enough that four days later, I've still got a bit of a limp. I'll recover, but hopefully I've learned my lesson. It's not quite like a sledgehammer, but that head can do some serious damage.

First Shot: Time For A Change
Well, I set out an aggresive mission several months back to treat Croquet Network like a magazine with departments and features every week. While I still think that is the ideal format, I just haven't been able to keep up the pace. On the other hand, some good traffic is flowing through and I love the game. So, I'll once again change the focus slightly. I want to get more content out there, so I'm going to give it more of a blog-like emphasis. Probably shorter posts and less of the drills and product reviews.
