In case you missed it, Jenny Clark took the Australian Open singles title. The ACA site has full results for both singles and doubles.
The USCA website has a full photo gallery and summary of the recent USCA GC Nationals Tournament. In addition, singles champion Ben Rothman has a rundown of the event posted on his CroquetPro blog.
Also from Ben's blog, he has an updated post on "an easy way to a good swing."
Big news from the WCF as new secretary general Martin French has started a What's Happening with the WCF Blog. This a great move as I've already dropped that RSS feed into the automated news feed in the right column of the Croquet Network front page, so you'll see any new posts from the WCF as they come up. That feed collects all of the very few available croquet dedicated RSS feed. More croquet sites need RSS feeds and a simple concept is to use an external free service for a blog and automatically feed that blogs headlines into the front page of your main site. Definitely a traffic driver and a way to keep users engaged. Also, it simplifies your updating process.
