Jerry Stark

(USA)

Born: 1954

There is no record of, larger than life Jerry Stark, having a dog called Toto but that did not stop him from finding his own “yellow brick road” when he moved home.

After finding Tournament Croquet in 1983. he just pulled up stakes and moved 1000 miles from Kansas City, Missouri to Phoenix, Arizona. Now there’s dedication.

He got his break into international play in 1987 at the first Wine Country Invitational (later known as the Sonoma-Cutrer World Championship) and in 1990 tied for third in the second WCF World Championship. He has been a member of 14 USA croquet teams, has competed in the WCF World Championship no less than 9 times and the Sonoma-Cutrer World Championship 10 times. He was the winner of the first Resort Invitational in Welches Oregon.

Jerry is married and has two children. He has been the Director of Croquet at the luxurious resort Meadowood Napa Valley located in the wine country of Northern California since 1992, introducing guests there to what he calls the "grown-up" game of croquet. His other interests include golf, darts and Texas Hold'em poker.
