The traditional game of croquet is a popular activity for members of the the local croquet club who dress in all white apparel, as well as for guests at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, both of whom play on the sprawling front lawn of that luxury hotel in San Diego County, California, USA. Club members follow the official rules of the Croquet Association for Six-Wicket American Croquet that specify the equipment to be used, including the mallets, balls, wickets and stake. Here a male club player strikes his yellow ball with a square wooden mallet into an opponent's red ball.
