Off Topic Footgolf

[Deleted #]

I was out with Bri yesterday and he brought up the idea of playing footgolf. I've always been curious about this and I think it's a good idea. I've done a quick check and it's usually in the £10-£12 price range.

Would anybody on here be interested in a game?

Not sure what it is, but when we were youngens we used to aim for distant targets with a football and had them down as par 3, 4 and 5 depending on how far they were away..

I looked at that one mate, it seems alright. It would have to be after new year for me.

It's exactly that but you now have to pay for it. On a serious note though it's excellent fun and no one gets competitive. ...honest

Reckon this game will suit me.

 

[MrRAWhite]

Have a bit of a dodgy knee so would not get the distance I would have in the past, but I would be up for it all the same.

I would batter all of you. Unfortunately logistics are an issue for me!!

There are tennis courts in the park our club uses for practice and matches. You are more likely to see a soccer ball bandied about than a tennis racquet there.

Soccer ball

I'd happily play but my arthritic knees and feet might play havoc with me

Soccer ball

Today is Thanksgiving. You know - turkey on the table and football on the TV. I just could't bring myself to call a soccer ball a foot ball today. That would be tantamount to treason.

Looking this up for Aus. I want to play big style.

 

[QWOP]

Never done it before. Looks like fun though.

You’ll look dapper mate!! Might bag myself a set of plus-fours if this game is on in January. You’ll bloody need them down Roseberry Grange... with your long, woolly socks.
