Scope note
Dutch sport played on a course that measures 17.5 metres long and 5 metres wide, marked with looping scoring lines and ornate wooden posts at each end. First played on ice, then on enclosed courses. Players hit a ball over a certain distance, the first to reach their opponent's starting point wins. The sport's popularity has declined since the late 20th century.
