    Hey there!

    Today I will unravel the way you can become an expert in the sport called peasant's golf. You don't believe me? Read on and find out.

    During my internship at the Nordeifel Tourismus I had the chance to develop my skills regarding Bauerngolf, or in English - peasant's golf. The first lesson took place on a field, usually used by cows. There were 10 holes on it and a lot of smelly obstacles. The weather wasn't exactly perfect, it was clouded and humid. But in harsh condition the best players are being born. So we got down to business. After a short intro from the owner of the place we chose our tools.

    In order to play you need balls of different colors, that are as big as a handball. To hit the balls, wooden golf clubs are being carved out of wood and on the top there is a wooden shoe, the dutch type. "It's not exactly Zidane's shoe, but it should work" I told myself. But it was not so easy as expected. After a few shots we finally made it to the first hole and with a bit of luck we scored. The teams were all joyful and we could continue on the track. Each hole had a different level of difficulty: shoot it between some truck tires, shoot up a slope, shot near an unfriendly bull and others. The highlight of the track was the hole in the wagon. Some advice for those of you who want to try it out: try all angles and try hitting with all the parts of the wooden shoe; the shot effect doesn't necessary work; the hip movement is crucial at a winner's dance; finding a tall piece of grass could offer you a huge advantage and don't mind the comments of the competitors.
    At the end of the day, we all reached the final hole and enjoyed a plant schnapps and a delicious steak at the Margaretenhof Eifel guest house. I recommend this experience, although I think I had enough of this sport for the next couple of years. Would you try something like this?

    See you soon!
