The Sacremento Bee has a primer on the latest sport to sweep the nation. FootGolf is a hybrid of, yep, soccer and golf and it’s quickly becoming a popular pastime all over the country. Developed in Europe, it’s like “soccer — without the sprinting or sweating.” Using a regulation soccer ball, players kick their way through a golf course that’s been retrofitted with 21-inch holes. As one enthusiast puts it: “You don’t have to be in shape and dribble past somebody. It’s like target shooting, and you get to enjoy a nice day.”
