Krolf
Krolf - even Crolf written - is a sport that is mainly in Denmark is common, but is now played in other countries.
The name is a combination of croquet and golf . Similar to these sports, a ball must be holed with a racket. As a rule, twelve holes are played on a course from a distance of between five and 40 meters. In Germany croquet bats and field hockey balls are used. Up to six people can play on one hole at the same time; whoever needs the fewest blows has won. If a ball is successfully pocketed with a single stroke, zero points are counted; if someone accidentally misses the ball, he may repeat the attempt, as only every contact between the club and the ball counts as a stroke. If the ball is not holed with the eighth stroke, ten strokes are counted and play continues at the next hole. You can play in any park or meadow with little effort, you only need a hole with a diameter of approx. 12 cm. The fairways do not have to be specially prepared.
