Park golf (パークゴルフ pāku gorufu) a form of golf played in a park was invented in Makubetsu Hokkaido Japan in 1983. Aesthetically it resembles a sport somewhere between golf and croquet. The competitive object of the game is to hit the ball into a hole with a club in the fewest number of strokes. At the same time there is also a strong emphasis on harmony with other players (players of park golf are referred to as parkers)[citation needed] and the natural setting of the course.
