Footgolf - The Best Game Ever Invented?

  

 

SO WHAT IS FOOTGOLF?

Similar to golf the object of the game is  to introduce the football into the hole  with the foot in the least amount of shots possibile. The field maybe a golf course or similar area but the distance  between the tee and the hole is flexible, depending on the total area played.

 

 The origins of footgolf are unclear as they can be attributed to many places at the same time. The conversion into a full-fledged sport started in  the Netherlands where the ruleset was standardized and the game was internationally publicized.
Countries worldwide are now collaborating on the development of the game. In 2009 the International FootGolf Association was established . In 2012, the Federation for International FootGolf was created.
The FIFG has ten official members, Portugal, Norway, Hungery, Holland,Mexico, Italy, United Kingdom, United States of Amercia, Argentina and Belgium but is expanding rapidly. The federation is talking with over 10 countries about their application

RULES

The player who plays the 9 or 18 holes with the least shots wins.
Most rules correspond with the actual rules of golf. Footgolf is played on golf course. The first shot has to be played from the tee, and to reach the hole, bunkers, trees, water and hills have to be crossed or avoided. This means a powerful shot is useful, but not decisive. Reading the course, a smart approach and accurate putting are even more important.
