Rancho Sierra Golf Course is the first golf course in the Antelope Valley with FootGolf, which combines the popular sports of soccer and golf.
You may have heard about FootGolf, or not. You may have seen it played, even at Rancho Sierra, which has had a FootGolf course for almost a year. When was it started? Is it as simple as it sounds? Is it fun? What’s there to it? Should I give it a try? Can I get rich doing it? I’ll try to answer at least some of these questions in this and other posts.
What is FootGolf?
The main goal of FootGolf is to kick a soccer ball from the flat area named teeing ground (the tee of course) into a hole placed at least fifty yards away with the lowest possible number of kicks. The FootGolf course consists of typically 9-18 holes, but there are some training courses with a fewer number of holes. Each hole is paired with a number (par) which indicates the possible number of kicks an excellent FootGolf player would need for getting the ball into the hole (so don’t feel too bad if you are over par).
Simply, FootGolf is a precision sport where players kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible. Sound familiar? FootGolf combines the number one elite sport in the world – golf – with the number one popular sport in the world – soccer.
FootGolf is increasingly popular among soccer players, as it presents these players with different challenges. Rather than competing on a flat soccer field, the player now faces the challenges inherent in a golf course – trees, lakes, creeks, bunkers and undulations in the terrain. Ball control becomes particularly important because now the number of kicks are counted in the score.
