Everyone interested in the ancient European stick and ball games jeu de crosse (choule), colf (kolf), jeu de mail (pall mall) and their relation to the ancient Scottish golf has just landed on the ultimate site! Here you find papers, essays, poems, pictures and books about ancient golf and its kindred games, including non-related stick and ball games. Every month under 'What's new', you can expect a new publication, reproduced unabridged in the originally written and published language.
 
Geert Nijs (alas deceased in 2018) & Sara Kieboom-Nijs, sport historians, have specialised in the history of the continental kindred games and published several books.
