What do you get when you mix soccer (known in Europe as football) and golf? FootGolf, of course! This new sport is catching everyone’s attention and for good reason, too, because it’s insanely addictive!
Made official in the Netherland sin 2009, FootGolf is a fun game that requires players to putt a soccer ball into 21-inch holes using as few kicks as possible. It’s usually played on a golf course and once you start playing, it’s very hard to stop!
Most of the game’s rules are taken right from golf and there is even a dress code that players must observe! The first shot of the game must be played from a tee and obstacles like trees, hills and water have to be avoided in order to ensure an easier game. Just like in golf!
Variations of FootGolf involve man-made obstacles that need to be surpassed without being moved and requires players to made hard and strategic kicks to complete the 9 or 18 holes in as little time as possible.
Sounds like the perfect summer sport to us!
