What organizers are billing as the first-ever Professional Croquet Association (PCA) Pro Tour event is scheduled for Oct. 22-25 at the Chesapeake Bay Croquet Club in Hartfield. This event is attracting the best croquet players from all over America. These talented men and women will be competing for a purse of over $2,000. While this may be small for some sports, it is a step forward for croquet.

Prequalifying requirements have been lifted for this inaugural event and the tournament is open to all players. The competitors will play an international form of croquet called Association Croquet.
