Pop Petersen: a croquet journey from social play to Queensland State Team

I played socially for a while and then stopped when Peter was so sick. I started playing competitively in 2020 and won a few minor comps and was runner up in several others which included the Windsor Golf Shield 2021 and Division 2 Singles in Southport 2020. I was selected as a member of the Queensland State Team in 2021.

Most of 2022 was spent recuperating from a wrist operation. In 2023 I was runner up in Windsor Shield and Runner up in the Qld Women's Open Singles 2023.

I was selected as a member of the Queensland State Team in 2023 and competed in Perth. The one that meant the most was being Runner up in The Qld Women's Open Singles 2023.
