Croquet

Croquet has never been a major plot point on the Simpsons, but games and equipment therefrom have made appearances from time to time, especially in later seasons.
==Croquet Games==
*When Marge visits Springfield Glen Country Club, one of the ways she tries to fit in is by playing croquet with her new "friends." (Season 7's Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield)
