If you look closely, you might think this is croquet, but its not. I saw them playing this near Ome out in the mountains the other day also.
Its a form of golf, but all putting. You start a decent distance away from the 'hole' and hit the croquet ball hard, you hopefully get it near the hole which is a metal hoop sitting on top of the grass. Then you have a couple more putts to get it over the metal lip of the hoop so that it stays inside.
It looked like fun to me, I am guessing it is very old people friendly.
