After a long winter of cozying up inside by the fire, spring is here, and that means it\u2019s time to get OUTSIDE! According to the Outdoor Industry Association<\/a>, heading out into the fresh air is the best way to de-stress during these challenging times. As health officials have strongly discouraged traveling to recreation spots during the pandemic, they do recommend engaging in outdoor activities close to home\u2014especially with family members in our own backyards. The rewards to our physical and mental health are reason enough to get out there, as many studies suggest that outdoor exercise is directly associated with increased energy, feelings of revitalization, and positive engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croquet is an Old-World sport that began hundreds of years ago. Back in the day, the six-wicket international game was typically played in a formal manner\u2014wearing crisp and starched all-white apparel\u2014while adhering to a decidedly rigid set of rules. Today, the nine-wicket American version is far more relaxed, all-inclusive, and can be played on any lawn anywhere. Freshly mowed grass is still preferable and creates an even, level surface for the balls to roll smoothly. To \u201ccroquet\u201d means to ruthlessly smack your opponent\u2019s ball far away\u2014a HUGE part of the fun indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preferably played outdoors with a glass of wine in hand\u2014so sayeth the Italians\u2014the beautiful game of bocce has a captivating and complex history. Also known as Italian lawn bowling, it is the third most-played sport in the world and one of the oldest yard games known. According to the United States Bocce Federation<\/a>, Roman soldiers played Bocce to unwind between confrontations with the Carthaginians. Some believe this ancient version of the game involved throwing big rocks at a smaller rock, and now, 2,000 years later, our modern-day adaptation basically adheres to the same concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last few years, everyone from Gen-Xers to baby boomers to winery owners has caught up with the Romans, claims Bocce Builders of America. And why not? This is an outdoor sport that anyone can enjoy, especially at the lake. It\u2019s the perfect activity for safe social distancing while capturing the spirit of joyful comradery we\u2019ve all been craving during the pandemic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulation bocce courts are 91 feet by 13 feet, but the dimensions of home courts can be whatever fits into your backyard. Variations are acceptable provided foul lines for throwing, mid-court lines for first throw of the pallino<\/em> (the smaller target ball), and inbound markers are clearly established. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was quickly immersed in Southern culture when I moved to Birmingham, Alabama, and became a writer and editor for Southern Accents Magazine at Time Warner. The lavish interiors and grand architecture of the region inspired me to study interior design while working as an editor. Today I am a lifestyle journalist, editor, brand strategist, and communications specialist with more than 25 years of experience managing and producing content for magazines, books, digital, television, and sales\/marketing\/PR assets. I am honored to put my skills to work creating lifestyle content for Lake Homes Realty and its ever-growing sister brands including Beach-Homes Realty and Mountain Homes Realty.","sameAs":["https:\/\/jeannedelathouder.wixsite.com\/portfolio%20","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeannedelathouder312"],"url":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/lifestyles\/author\/jdelathouder"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16219"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24207,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16219\/revisions\/24207"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
