Foot Golf you say? Ever heard of it? Here is the low down.
The Game: FootGolf is a precision sport, a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf, being more closely related to golf. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf and players kick a regulation #5 soccer ball at a golf course facility on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups in as few shots as possible.
The American FootGolf League was founded in 2011. The game was internationally publicized, and countries worldwide started collaborating on the development of the game. FootGolf has been recognized or is in the process of being recognized as a sport in many countries.
Separate to the ‘golf’ we are also taking the opportunity to raise some much needed funds and supplies for a very important charity.
JDRF raises money endlessly to fund research for a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. In conjunction with this event, there are about 10-12 of us that are travelling to Death Valley, CA in October to cycle 100miles in one day for the same cause.
