CHRIS McWhirter has gone back-to-back winning the Gold Medal at the 2016 Golf Croquet Nationals for the second consecutive year.
The Forrest Park Croquet Club member played off against Victoria and Queensland after the three states finished in a three-way tie following the round robin.
It then came down to WA and Victoria, a replay of last year’s gold medal final, with McWhirter winning 7-6 at Cambridge Croquet Club.
