@cracker65 – They’re playing “Golquet”, an ancient ancestor of the games we know today as Golf and Croquet. When the tribes went their separate ways and one tribe settled in what is now known as “Scotland”, the heavy use of their clubs to assist them as they hiked over the Highlands wore their clubs down so thin that they adapted them to develop the modern game of ‘Golf’.
The other tribe who remained in the south however, still had heavy thick clubs and eventually worked out that smacking balls through hoops was much easier than trying to club them through the air and into a hole in the ground, which were often confused with badger holes, and the subsequent permanent loss of the balls and many annoyed badgers who would respond with rather nasty bites, hence leading to the evolution of the modern day game of ‘Croquet’. Which incidentally, guiding balls through hoops led to the idea of what is now known as ‘The Tube’ in modern London.

Are they playing golf or croquet? It’s hard to tell.

See, I thought that’s exactly what “mark your golf ball” meant until now.
