Advantage Golf Croquet offers an improved balance of play in handicap games but keeping tabs on the score is now harder.
Brookwood Croquet offers purpose made counters to make it easier for players to keep the score. The counters come in two shapes. A flat shape which will easily fit in a pocket and a larger cylindrical, colour coordinated shape. Both types have a cord and clip so they can be attached to a players clothing in a visible location. Each counter has two sets of numbers from -4 to 7. One set is for the ‘Stronger’/’Lower Handicap Player’ and the other set is for the ‘Weaker’/’Higher Handicap Player’. Brookwood Croquet prefers the terms Lower and Higher Handicap because there is no such thing as a weaker player, just less experienced. At the start of the game the wheels are rotated to bring up the starting score. For the cylindrical counter the ends are rotated. The wheels and ends click into position for each number via a ratchet so that there is no risk that the numbers could change accidentally should the counter be kept in a pocket.
The Flat Counters have an option to have a slider which indicates the ball colour being played. There are two small windows which show the colours and they change as the slider is moved to any of blue/red; red/blue; green/pink; pink/green.
The flat version comes in a basic colour of silver (£10.00) and two deluxe colours of gold silk (£10.00) or rose pink silk(£10.00). Any of these colours can have a player’s name added by special order for an additional £2.00.
The Slider Option comes in the same colour range and costs an additional £3.00 due to greater complexity and assembly time.
The cylindrical version(£10.00) comes in either Blue and Red or Green and Pink to match the balls being played. In the event that a Blue and Red counter needs to be used for the alternate colours, there is an ‘S’ for ‘stronger’ on one end and a ‘W’ for ‘weaker’ on the other. These versions could have the club name added to the end if desired, for an additional £2.00.
For the flat version, postage and packing for a single or up to 8 is £2.00
For the cylindrical version small parcel post dictates a cost of £5.20 but up to 10 can be sent for the same price. Hence, it will be beneficial if members of clubs get together and order in bulk.
