About FootGolf

FootGolf was created by combining the two sports of football and golf.

​

The rules for the most part, though simplified, generally follow the rules of golf.  The course layouts and playing challenges are also similar to those found in golf.

​

​The game of FootGolf is rapidly expanding across the globe with courses now in over 36 countries.

The game is played the same way as golf, except player’s use a football instead of a golf ball and the ball is kicked rather than struck with a club, working towards a 21-inch “cup” in place of the usual golf hole. The player who plays the 9 or 18 holes with the fewest shots wins. Footgolf as sport is generally played on golf courses, though it also can be played on other grassed areas or specially built footgolf courses. The first shot has to be played from the tee box, and to reach the hole, bunkers, trees, water and hills have to be crossed or avoided. This means a powerful shot is useful, but not decisive. Reading the course, a smart approach and accurate putting are even more important.

How To Play..

Please wear golf shoes or regular sports shoes. NO soccer boots with studs or cleats are allowed.

Appropriate attire, follow the dress regulations of the course where you will be playing. We prefer collared polo shirts, long socks and a flat cap. But it's not compulsory!

Bring along a size 5 football (or you can rent one at the course)

That’s it, what are you waiting for?

Samsung Galaxy Watch : Under Armour Edition

The Galaxy Watch Active 2 Under Armour Editon

The Under Armour Edition watch looks identical to the Bluetooth-only Galaxy Watch Active 2.

 It will reportedly rely entirely on Bluetooth connectivity and offer MapMyRun integration as standard. To make the wearable a more attraction option, six free months of the service will apparently be offered to whoever purchases it.

To make it more appealing to fitness fanatics, a specially designed sport band which can seemingly be bought in black or white has been added to the mix. Also, like the standard models, the Under Armour-branded one will be available in both 40mm and 44mm case sizes.

Samsung’s new fitness-focused wearable will have an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor as standard. 

The Galaxy Watch Under Armour Edition will be compatible with both Android and iPhone devices. It’ll run the latest version of Tizen paired with the One UI interface and should also support Bixby and Samsung Pay.

With 1 year to go #Tokyo2020 unveils Olympics medal designs.

Composition: Gold: > 6 g of gold plating on pure silver; Silver: pure silver; Bronze: red brass (95% copper, 5% zinc)

The design of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic medals reflects the concept that in order to achieve glory, athletes have to strive for victory on a daily basis.

The brilliance of the medals’ reflections signifies the warm glow of friendship depicted by people all over the world holding hands.

In order to come up with a range of designs from which to choose, Tokyo 2020 held a competition open to professional designers and design students which attracted more than 400 entries.

Oppo Reno 10x Zoom - Barcelona Edition

Oppo Reno 10X Zoom FC Barcelona Edition was launched in July 2019.

It comes with 8GB of RAM.

Android 9.0 Pie and is powered by a 4,065mAh battery.

162.00 x 77.20 x 9.30mm (height x width x thickness) & weighs 210.00 grams.

Partnership between a Chinese brand and a European football club.

World-leading smartphone band OPPO announced today its renewed three-year partnership with FC Barcelona, along with the release of a Limited Edition FC Barcelona Reno 10x Zoom Series handset at a launch event at the football club’s Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona.

This furthers an already successful four-year alliance with the world-famous team, which is now the longest running partnership between a Chinese brand and a European football club.

Inspired by the club flags waving in Camp Nou, the phone’s exterior sports the club’s famous garnet and blue coloration, which forges closer ties between the club, the fans and the brand. This used an innovative, industry-first heat-press technique to create its unique gradient effect, giving fans a fresh visual package that embodies FC Barcelona’s deep passion for football.  Overlaying this are two Barca logos: a larger blurred logo, paying homage to the club’s glorious history, as well as a smaller gold team logo at the bottom, which represents the club’s present, as well as its bright future. 

It also comes equipped with custom software, including exclusive wallpapers and icons such as footballs, garnet and blue kits, and more. Fans can also feel like Barca is with them wherever they go, thanks to its custom ringtones that sample the FC Barcelona anthem and stadium sounds.
