Foot Golf: Imagine If Soccer and Golf Had a Baby

How It Works
Although FootGolf is regarded as a casual game there are strict rules you must follow in order to play. Abiding by the rules makes the sport more fun to play because everyone is on a level playing field.

Players kick a regulation #5 Soccer Ball at a Golf Course Facility on shortened length holes with 21-inch diameter cups in as few shots as possible. FootGolf rules are very similar to the rules of Golf and bunkers, hazards and Golf Course characteristics help to improve the challenge of the game. FootGolf and Golf can be played alongside each other on the same course and both types of play can exist harmoniously together. Since the game is played on a Golf Course, the basic uniform of FootGolf is similar to traditional Golf apparel, with sturdy Indoor Soccer shoes, or running shoes, being the most appropriate to help protect your feet from potential injury!

Game Objective
To play, kick off your ball from behind the tee markers. Once kicked, you must wait until the ball comes to a full stop to kick it again. You are not allowed to push the ball with the top or bottom of your foot. The order of play during each hole depends on the distance to the hole, whoever is further, plays first. The order of tee off in each hole is established based on the score of the previous hole. If your ball lands on the Golf Green, it is forbidden to run to kick it. Place your foot next to the ball and take your putt. If Golfers are behind, you can let them go through, Golfers usually have a faster pace and will be out of your way in no time. Running and screaming and kicking the ball in the air with no purpose is strictly forbidden on the course. You can have a celebration if you make a nice shot, but please be discreet. The rules largely correspond to the rules of Golf.

Each hole has a Par, which is the amount of strokes it should take you to get the ball from the tee to the hole. If it's a Par 3 and you make it in 3 strokes, you have got yourself a Par. At the end of the round add up all strokes and see what your final score is. Whoever got less is the winner of the day.
