Sisters Sheryl Parsons and Rhonda Hartley didn't know what to expect when they arrived at Wodonga Croquet Club's come and try day but were pleasantly surprised.
The sun was shining today when the sisters joined a group of local people getting into the swing of the game.
"It's a great day for it," Sheryl said.
"It's not actually easy but it's certainly fun."
Free come and try sessions are being held at the Wodonga Tennis Centre as part of the Wodonga Senior Celebrations.
If you want to give it a go, there's one more opportunity on Sunday, March 27 from 10am to 12pm.
Sheryl explained that Rhonda saw the event advertised in the newspaper and thought they would give it a crack.
"My sister called me up and said we should give it a go but I was a bit apprehensive because I don't play sport much," Sheryl said.
"I'm glad we gave it a go.

"You have got to go through these hoops apparently and knock the other people out, it's similar to a lot of games like snooker and things like that.
"I am not too sure about all the rules, I just sort of have a go and hit the ball.
"I will have to go home and read up on it but today is all about being social."
Wodonga Croquet Club members enjoy playing golf croquet several times a week at the Wodonga Tennis Centre.
Those interested in the game can visit here.
