At the small country club we belong to there is still the cement curbs around what use to be five lighted "Roque" courts. The old timers tell me this was a difficult form of croquet and played on clay courts. In the evening and Sunday afternoons in the 30's maybe even 20's and early 40's the men dressed in their suits, ties and straw hats played while their adoring wife's watched. (they said adoring) after golf became popular the courts where turned to grass for coquet the kids & women played and finally to cement for tennis. At that time women were not allowed to golf on weekends. Now us adoring wife's play golf with our husbands and kids. Donna
