If you have never heard of this sport before and you are wondering what it is like, the answer is probably what you imagine: a mix between football and golf. It’s not the first time that two sports are combined, but in the case of FootGolf it’s here to stay. It was born in the Netherlands in 2009, soon began to gain followers and now is played all over the world.
How to play FootGolf?
FootGolf follows the rules of golf and uses the same terms, such as eagle, birdie, bogey and putt. The main difference is that you don’t need golf balls or heavy and expensive bags of clubs, since your main tools are your legs, your feet and a football. The holes have a diameter of 52 cm to fit standard size 5 balls, the same used in professional football. FootGolf has four categories: male, female, junior and senior and can be played individually or in teams. The winner is who completes the course in the less number of shots.
