The first game was played in 1999, and since then games have also been played in Germany. There are currently about 15 farmers golf locations in the Netherlands.
Farmers golf is played with a special wooden golf club, with a club head in the shape of a clog (in Dutch: klomp). A farmers golf ball is, with its 20 centimeter diameter, much larger than a traditional golf ball.
A golf hole is made by placing a bucket in the ground and a flagpole beside it. The 8 to 10 holes are on average more than 200 meters long.
