Bob Westbury of Horizons Golf Resort told News Of The Area, “Footgolf is a sport that anyone can play, if you can kick a soccer ball, you can play footgolf.” Footgolf is played just like regular golf, if it is a par 3 hole you get three kicks to get the soccer ball into the special footgolf holes. The Footgolf holes are set away from the greens and are covered during regular golf. “This is a great way to see the professionals in action, and try the sport yourself,” he said.
