摘要

You want a right-handed mallet or a left-handed mallet?" asked Jerry Stark, a burly 54-year-old croquet pro sporting a ZZ Top beard and a blindingly white expanse of game uniform. My wife hesitated, which cracked him up: The mallets are all the same. Me, I exhaled. I had expected this to be a version of sports with a pinkie extended. It turned out, like most things at Meadowood Napa Valley, to be easygoing.rnThe lawn that morning was cinematic, with dew lying like a rime of silvery frost on the playing surface. The resort's oaks, alders, and Douglas firs, hung with rags of morning fog, surrounded us amphitheater style in Meadowood's tucked-away pocket canyon. Five-time national champion Stark, known on the tournament circuit as "The Barbarian," divvied up the Condiments (the red and yellow balls) and the Bruisers (the black and blue set); discussed the pros and cons of the Irish, Solomon, and standard grips; laid out the rules of "grown-up croquet," which arernconfoundingly different from the backyard game; and turned us loose to laugh and hack and trash-talk our way around the wickets, our regulation whites merging with the fog that was now wandering in through a stand of redwoods from the neighboring golf course.
