Ian Lines - Position 3rd in Yellow Group (ENG)

World Ranking at 1st August 2005: 48

39 year old Ian Lines may appear docile, but beneath that cool and affable exterior is a Rottweiller waiting to get out. Starting to play croquet in 1993 he made steady progress winning the All England Handicap Event in 1995 and gently progressing up the
ladder of success and rankings in the ensuing years.

That is until recent times, when he has made rapid progress winning the Chairman’s Salver in 2004 and underlining the fact that he is one of those players that will fancy their chances in August. He will be in a small group of players that will attempt a
sextuple peel whenever the position is favourable despite his overall cautious approach to the game. His risk management should be spot on, as he is a Risk Management Consultant specialising in advising on major hazard installations such a chemical plants
and refineries.

When away from the lawn he is one of those that the sport needs by giving up his time to coach, organise tournaments and acting as Secretary of the North West Croquet Federation (of England). His other sporting interest lies in Badminton that fills the
long winter months.
