Hornussen (Farmers golf)

A very typical, local sport in the area where I grew up, sometimes described on the internet as 'farmers golf'. The puck (called Nouss) is hit into the playing field with a speed up to 300 kilometers an hour. The opposing team of approx. 18 players attempts to intercept the flight as soon as possible with paddles weighing 4 kilograms.

The Swiss Post has just dedicated a special stamp to this sport.
