A CUT to his handicap has placed Boort croquet star Ian Potter among the top 10 players in the state.
Potter’s handicap in golf croquet has been reduced to -1, placing him in the top echelon of Victorian players.
Handicaps are reduced by earning points in competitive pennant matches. Defeating low-handicap players earns more points than beating high handicappers.
Potter won this year’s Murray Valley region Level 1 championship, which earned him a spot at the state championships.
He said he had rarely had the chance to test himself against the sport’s finest players, but his low handicap suggests that he can match it with the best.
Potter is one of the monthly nominees for the inaugural Loddon Herald Sports Star of the Year award
