Footgolf in Nottingham
Overview
We would like to bring to the programme 9 holes Footgolf.
It sounds a fun way to play without lifting the turf to the annoyance of the keen golfer. Footgolf is played similarly to golf, with the exception that players use a football instead of a golf ball, and the ball is kicked rather than struck with a club, working toward a 50 cm-52 cm diameter by 28 cm deep "footgolf cup" usually located away from golf greens.
Like golf, the player who finishes the course with the fewest shots wins. Footgolf is often played on golf courses, though it may also be played on specially built courses. The first shot must be played from a tee box, and bunkers, trees, water and hills must be crossed or avoided in order to reach the hole.
As footballs cannot be propelled as far as golf balls in one shot, footgolf is played on holes shorter than those used in golf.
Compared to golf, footgolf is quicker to play, more accessible, and does not require expensive equipment
The venue is about a 10 minute walk from Hucknall tram stop or there is a car park on site.
