FootGolf is a new sport that combines soccer and golf. FootGolf is played with a soccer ball, on a golf course, and generally follows the rules of golf.
More About FootGolf
To play FootGolf, players use soccer balls on a traditional golf course with much larger cups to fit the larger balls. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf. Unlike a typical soccer game, no referee is needed to play.
The game depends on the integrity of the player to show consideration for other players and to abide by the Rules. All players should conduct themselves in a disciplined manner, demonstrating courtesy at all times and sportsmanship, regardless of how competitive they may be. This is the spirit of the Foot Golf game.
The sport is played in the traditional format of up to four players per group with FootGolfers either walking the course or using golf carts. Holes are roughly half the distance of a regular golf hole. While the soccer ball doesn’t travel as far in the air as a golf ball, it will roll much farther in the fairways.
FootGolf uses golf’s basic model including tee boxes, greens, bunkers, hazards and 18 holes of play. Scorecards display par scores for each hole as in regular golf. The sport is governed by the Federation for International FootGolf and has grown primarily internationally.
