The players, dressed in elaborate period costumes, are seen engaging in this icy version of golf with great enthusiasm. The scene is filled with energy as both sportsmen and sportswomen participate in this parlour game turned outdoor spectacle. Golf balls fly through the frosty air, leaving trails behind them as they make their way towards their targets.
