这种游戏最早的名字叫做closh，在它演变为croquet（槌球）之前，还曾叫做pall-mall（铁圈球）。

I was surprised to see in looking this stuff over that the game of closh had for many years been outlawed in England along with such other questionable pursuits as tennis, horseshoes and bowling.

我仔细查看之后，惊讶地发现，槌球和许多其他活动一样——诸如网球、掷马蹄铁、保龄球——许多年来在英格兰曾经都是被禁止的项目。
