The Hazards of Croquet

How many times a year do you swing a little wild and graze the inside ball of one of your ankles? For me, it usually happens during a warm-up swing on an awkward stance shot. I'd say I pull this off about 2-3 times per season. Usually, it's just a minor shot that is creates a pretty good pain sensation. Last week though, I really blasted myself. Enough that four days later, I've still got a bit of a limp. I'll recover, but hopefully I've learned my lesson. It's not quite like a sledgehammer, but that head can do some serious damage.
