POLITE APPLAUSE CAN BE HEARD<\/strong> for every successful, as well as less successful, shot. The\u201c1st Wester-Amstel Croquet Tournament\u201d<\/em>has begun. Together with a few other country estates, an affinity for this traditional ball game has quickly taken root. A fanatical group of volunteers, led by British-born Ben Silburn, has annexed the Taxus Lawn and designated it a no-go area for us laypeople. How all this could have happened in such a short time is anyone's guess.<\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

But here we are.<\/em> Ben has been meticulously trimming the grass with nail scissors right up until the last minute, while we have been extensively<\/em> taste-testing his homemade cucumber sandwiches and the curious drink known as Pimm\u2019s. Personally, I\u2019m mostly here for the latter, and I\u2019ve forgotten my almost-mandatory hat, but since I\u2019m representing The Press, I sit, like everyone else, on the edge of my folding chair and clap along merrily.<\/p>


<\/p>\n

Croquet seems to me as if it were specially designed for the owners of those English country houses with far too many poorly drafting chimneys. They often have an expat background in the Dominions, hence the tropical white of their outfits. For the gentlemen, this consists of \u2013 in my opinion \u2013 overly warm tweed and linen, and frilly things in booties<\/em> for the ladies. And all of them wear hats... Let's not forget the hats!<\/em><\/p>


<\/em><\/p>\n

And here come the pleasantly swishing, mostly crustless sandwiches! They have a kind of dazzling whiteness that I find particularly appealing from time to time. But that Pimm\u2019s\u2026 is the white wine already chilled?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The clapping is getting louder now. I didn't read the rules beforehand so that I could experience the atmosphere unfiltered. It now appears that we are already in the second (or third) half. Insofar as the participants arrived in pairs and were then mixed, a division between the higher echelon and the benchwarmers is now becoming apparent. The \u201closers\u201d in particular are starting to interfere with the leadership, but Master Ben is correct and unyielding.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Whereas the course was laid out quietly by a group of insiders, the scoring is a bit more heated; it turns out that everyone has kept track of the scores. For me, it remains a mystery. Fortunately, everyone ultimately agrees and the winner goes home with the challenge cup\u2026.or rather, a silver sugar sprinkler.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Because the\u201c2nd Wester-Amstel Croquet Tournament\u201d<\/em>for next year is already in the planning stages. Croquet is here to stay!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
