Footgolf

About:
Ayr footgolf club was set up with the aim of increasing the participation and profile of a fast growing and fun sport called footgolf – where the aim of the game is to kick a football into a larger sized hole in as little shots as possible around a golf course using your technical ability, decision making regarding the type of kick you perform, and the kick placement on the course. It’s also a chance to get outside and get some fresh air and exercise. We are looking for males and females, from any age group who would like to participate in footgolf. We would like to increase the number of males who currently play, but we are also very keen to develop the amount of females and over 45’s (male and female) who are currently playing as part of our club, so we can grow those sections and be able to organise competitions/friendly practices within those age/gender categories. We are also keen to get younger players playing at a grassroots level so we can create future players for our squad, and eventually aim to have a junior section too.
