Lakewood Croquet Club

NEW YORK, NY – The sport of extreme croquet continues to make waves, as the Lakewood Croquet Club website has been featured in the October, 1999 issue of Yahoo! Internet Life magazine, on newsstands now.

The LCC site is featured in the Pretty Strange column (p. 176). The column’s author, Scott Alexander, sums up our sport best with the following: “Bungee jumping…yawn. skydiving…ho-hum. if you think extreme sports have become less than pulse-pounding, then you haven’t tried the latest raw adrenaline booster: extreme croquet.”

This most-recent recognition of our off-the-wall site has led to increased interest in the Lakewood Croquet Club, as well as some of our fellow extreme croquet clubs. Coupled with the recent introduction of the first extreme croquet equipment by Oakley Woods Croquet, the sport of extreme croquet is basking in the glow of a newfound renaissance.

The task now will be to maintain this increased interest in the sport through the winter months, until the start of the 2000 season early next year.
