I believe one has to take it in turns to knock one's ball through the hoops in order, before hitting the pole at the centre. The first party to do so is the winner, Ma'am.

One would have to say...er...No. Not at the moment.
*takes own mallet and hits a ball through the first hoop, managing to knock Coelacanth/Menza's ball under a bush*
Remember you have to play your ball from where it ends up.

You seem suspiciously good at this. Have you played before? (I have, but it was about 2am after summer ball many years ago and I don't think there were any rules).
*sends Menza off to hit the ball and pours more Bolly instead*

*Menza hits the ball with great skill. It rolls out of the bushes, along the lawn and straight through the second hoop. smiley - smiley
Then it hits a stone, flies up in the air and lands in the fountain*

Are we winning now?
