2010 NEW YORK CROQUET CLUB’S OSBORN CUP
September 16-19, 2010
The New York Croquet Club’s Osborn Cup was completed Sunday afternoon under beautiful skies. The four-day event involved twenty-seven players competing within four Flights of Singles and three Flights of ‘Waterford to Playoffs’ Doubles. Four courts were used, though the dreaded second court, highlighted by the infamous “Acorn Corner,” saw some down time due to an abundance of water. The weather overall was more than accommodating.
Social activities included the Annual Dinner/Opening Cocktail Party at The Yale Club of New York, Toasts & Tallies at The Emerald Inn and a fantastic Tournament Dinner at La Mangeoire. Club President, Sara Low, oversaw this fantastic event, John Osborn was the Tournament Director, George Blake served as Assistant Director, Carla Rueck oversaw both breakfasts and lunches and Karen Kaplan was responsible for the beautiful trophies.
Overall the tournament went without a major hitch and the player’s were in high spirits throughout.
