Super year wins prize

The Croquet Association have announced that the Apps Memorial Bowl for the most improved AC player of the year has been awarded to Bath Croquet Club’s Daniel Gott. Gott won this prestigious award due to his excellent performances in numerous national competitions throughout the year, including the English Open, South of England and National Students Championships. These have resulted in a handicap reduction to -1.5 and a world ranking of 71st. The CA have also asked the Bath club to host a number of National tournaments at the Rec in 2019. The club will be hosting the AC Selectors Tournament, with top players from around the country competing, at the end of August. They will also be holding a round of the GC B Level in July, the area final of the GC All England Handicap in August and the final of the GC Grass Roots competition in September. The club will be holding their annual charity open day and beginners’ course in Spring 2019. Further information on the club can be found at www.bathcroquet.com.
