Variations on the Game of Golf – FootGolf

Stonham Barns Golf Centre is bringing a new sport to Suffolk. Here's a great quote about this exiting new sport "Footgolf combines the distinction, elegance and precision of golf with the passion, energy and fun of football in a marvelous new sport that's full of life” 

Founded in 2011, the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) held the first FootGolf World Cup in Budapest in the summer of 2012 where 12 countries were represented in total. This new sport is now being taken seriously and interest is growing. But what really is this game about that boasts “our balls are bigger” as their slogan? Well, according to FIFG:

“FootGolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf. The game is played with a regulation #5 football at a golf course facility on shortened holes with 21 inch diameter cups.  The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf.  FootGolf as a game is played throughout the world in many different forms, but as a sport it is regulated by the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG)."

To understand the excitment about Footgolf have a look at this US video promoting the sport - Footgolf USA 

To have a go and find out more come to the Stonham Barns Taster session on the Sunday 4th August 2013 between 3.00pm and 5.00pm. For more details call Joe or Tony on 01449 711545.

Football Golf at Stonham Barns – Sunday 4th August

8/7/2013

Picture
PGA Professionals Tony Dobson and Joe Cardy are hosting a Football Golf Taster session at Stonham Barns Golf Centre this summer on the Sunday 4th August.

After a boom in Europe and the rest of the world, the UK is starting to catch on to the idea of football Golf and Stonham Barns would like to offer you the first opportunity to try it locally.

FootGolf is played the same as a normal round of golf, but the player kicks a football around the course and into a hole which is much larger obviously to allow the ball to fit into the hole. The game is played using pretty much the same rules as golf too.

To learn more about this exciting new sport, go to http://worldfootgolf.com

On Sunday 4th August 2013, from 3.00pm-5.00pm the 9 hole course at Stonham Barns will be solely for Football Golfers! Everyone is welcome, more the merrier on a first come first serve basis at a cost of only £10 per head!

Tony and Joe urge as many people as possible to come over and have a go!

For more info or if you have any questions call Joe/Tony on 01449 711545
