1899 L. B. Williams Croquet iv. 123 Closely allied to this idea that the partners must be kept together at all hazards..is a player's duty to put his partner through a hoop when the balls are both for the same point. This manœuvre is..called ‘peeling’, after its greatest exponent, the late Mr. Walter Peel.

1919 Times 5 June 7/5 Players have evolved a game so full of complicated and compulsory ‘peeling’ that..one fails to recognise the game of croquet because of the barrage of rules and restrictions which smother it.

1999 Bath Chron. (Nexis) 2 Aug. 8 ‘Peeling’, ‘bisques’ and ‘scratch players’ are just some of the croquet lexicon that would confuse a beginner.
