Taken from

We Live in Two Worlds 2-DVD set and second volume (of 3) of shorts from The GPO Film Unit, covering the period 1936-1938.

Strange 13 minute film which starts off as a pompous lecture by JB Priestley
[Image: title3.37.jpg]
about international politics and tensions in central Europe, and then suddenly becomes a cheerful documentary about Switzerland in the sunshine with lots of jolly Swiss folk doing lots of jolly Alpine things in traditional costumes. Lots of Swiss trains as well. But - sadly - no yodelling or cuckoo clocks. http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1301267/index.html

2 unidentifiable trucks

A very strange form of primitive golf with huge bendy clubs
[Image: strangegolf.jpg] [Image: strangegolfb.jpg]
where they hit something (a ball? a big snail?? a small cheese?? a gnome's head???)
[Image: strangegolfa.jpg]
towards men with giant bats
[Image: strangegolfc.jpg]
for no apparent reason. No idea what the men with giant bats are trying to do - hit it back?? Or?? Presumably no-one in Switzerland had invented holes in the ground marked by flags by 1937.

Found it on Wikipedia:
Quote Local sports
Traditional sports include Swiss wrestling or "Schwingen". It is an old tradition from the rural central cantons and considered the national sport by some. Hornussen is another indigenous Swiss sport, which is like a cross between baseball and golf.


Wiki's article on the sport leaves much to be desired but plugging the name in Google brings up this.

 :king: Interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdIHOV6VGNU . Still seems a very strange game.
