FootGolf Building Steam Here and Across the Pond

FootGolf Building Steam Here and Across the Pond
Looking for a new and innovative way to get out on the course this summer? FootGolf might just be the answer you’ve been looking for.
 
Formally established in the Netherlands in 2009, FootGolf is steadily building a following across the globe. Combining two incredibly popular sports, FootGolf meshes the power and precision needed in both golf and football to create a fun and engaging activity.
 
Using a size 5-football the object of the game is to get the ball into the hole using only your feet in the least amount of kicks possible. FootGolf aims to follow the same rules and etiquette of golf, right down to its strict dress code.
 
In March of this year PGA of America’s President, Ted Bishop acknowledged the growing popularity of the sport and also stated its importance as a way of helping golf courses to increase revenue.
 
“The interest that I'm already getting from the soccer community on the sport is unbelievable,” Bishop told Golf Channel’s Morning Drive. “I think the thing that excites me, is that you've got the chance here to bring people in who are soccer-crazy and to give them the opportunity to go to the golf course, experience some things at the course and I think it would be ludicrous to think there won't be a percentage of those people that might say, 'Hey, you know what? I think I'd like to try and play golf.'”
 
FootGolf is already making its mark here in the UK. With ranking events being held throughout the summer, each with an estimated winning prize of £2,000.  Visit the UK FootGolf website for more info.
