WHAT IS FOOTGOLF?
The American FootGolf League introduced the sport of FootGolf in North America in 2011. Footgolf is a combination of soccer and golf. Footgolf is played with a regulation No. 5 soccer ball at a golf course facility on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups. This new, upcoming sport is a lot of fun!
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).
The American FootGolf League (AFGL) is the exclusive member of the FIFG and governing body for the sport of FootGolf in the United States.The AFGL is organizing tournaments throughout the country working with golf courses to bring FootGolf to their clubs as another avenue for revenue and to develop the game further.
