The World Croquet Federation today released the 2007 version of the WCF Golf Croquet Rules.
Chairman of the WCF Golf Croquet Rules Committee, Gordon Smith commented,
"The WCF Golf Croquet Rules Committee has prepared a revision of the rules, completing the task started in 2003. The 2005 Version of the Rules was released before we had completed discussing all aspects of the Rules. This has now been done and the experience we have had and the feedback we have received since January 2005 has been put to good use.
Notes are included to help players identify how the Rules have changed from previous versions.
A commentary on the rules is also supplied. The commentary does not form part of the rules. Rather it is intended to aid understanding and to indicate the Rules Committee's intentions. Member countries may use the commentary or add to it, as long as the additions do not conflict with the Rules.
I would like to thank members of the committee for their hard work, in this stage of the development of the Rules".
The members of the committee are
Bill Arliss (England)
Amir Ramsis (Egypt)
Tony Hall (Australia)
Mohammad Kamal (USA)
Peter Millson (South Africa representing other members)
Gordon Smith (New Zealand, Chairman)
Any questions or comments on these Rules should be made to the Chairman or a national representative.
