PUZZLE 086 A Question of Sport

There are pictures stuck up that represent success and failure in two different sports.
The picture on the left shows success, and the picture on the right shows failure.
Each of the sports are viewd from the side in the same location.
The pictures at the top represent football, but which sport is represented by the pictures at the buttom?

Hint 1

The white circle in the picture is a ball.
The ball drawn in the picture looks bigger at the bottom than at the top, but in real life, the football is the bigger of the two.

Hint 2

The reason why there is nothing drawn on the success picture at the bottom, is that the ball is not visible when viewd from the side.

Hint 3

If the ball is in the ground, it can't be seen from the side.

Super Hint

It's a sport where you use something to hit the ball into a hole.
What sport could that be?
