CWO INTERVIEWS JEFF SOO: An extended interview with American legend Jeff Soo has been posted on the the Croquet World Online site. Lots of good stuff. Here's an excerpt before you jump in:
Golf Croquet is a boon, nothing mixed about it. The health of croquet isn't measured by how many dues-paying members there are, but how much croquet is being played. Golf Croquet has a much broader appeal than Association Croquet or American rules. Maybe if the USCA put more work into the development Golf Croquet events we'd get more members. Right now there's very little on the calendar.

Croquet Poll: Your Favorite Croquet Website
Update on 2012-05-29 12:18 by Dylan
Other votes so far include croquetrecords.com and mauicroquetclub.org. Should have had croquetrecords.com in the main poll. I think we'll do a club site poll in the future.
Update on 2012-05-31 18:01 by Dylan
Another vote came in for croquetrecords.com came in. Two votes so far, it is now in the main poll. Also, someone submitted Oxford Croquet and I have added that to the main poll. I've also allowed the ability to vote for up to three sites.
Update on 2012-06-06 12:01 by Dylan
Looks like the CA and Oxford Croquet are the big champs to date. Lots of club votes in the other category. Bowdon Croquet Club is popular. I've also added www.kroket.de to the main poll as it received four votes in the other category.

Croquet Website Rankings (July 2011)
The USCA's croquetamerica.com website rode the busy July tournament calendar to a big month and nearly unseated croquet.com which dropped as the croquet set buying season came off of its peak month. The Croquet Association site moved up to the fourth from sixth last month, likely due to the big
