Rising opportunities within Footgolf.

Loading player...
If you haven’t heard of FootGolf before, it is a precision sport where players kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible. Players use a shortened golf course with large holes and keep score like you would in golf. Not only is this an interesting new take on the traditional game, but it is thriving at certain golf courses in the U.S. and the UK. In fact, in the UK it is one of the quickest growing sports around. The development of the sport has been so quick that in the UK 15% of golf courses will have duel use facilities by the end of 2017 and a trend of failing clubs being bought for complete FootGolf transformations is increasing.
