In this article, from www.EVENTPLANNERSPAIN.com we present you with an activity that most people have never heard of and that, as its name indicates, is a sport that mixes football and golf. That is to say, it is played with material and equipment of the sport of Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but in the facilities of a field of the sport of Tiger Woods or Severiano Ballesteros.
FOOTGOLF originated in the Netherlands a little over 10 years ago and quickly began to spread and gain practitioners all over the world.
The rules of FOOTGOLF are similar to golf, using the same terms, such as "birdie", "eagle", "putt" or the mythical "hole in one", but nevertheless the clubs and the small white ball are replaced by a regulation football, using the lower extremities to "kick" the ball and try to put it in the hole in the least number of strokes possible.
The holes have a diameter of about 50 centimetres and, as in golf, there are various categories: male, female, junior and senior (each with different distances to the hole) and can be played individually or in teams, covering 9 or 18 holes, depending on the time available. The most usual is to finish a game in about 80-90 minutes, which is how long it takes to cover 9 holes, which is normally enough to enjoy this activity to the full.
As it is a sport that can also be played in teams, it has a great team building component, ideal for company groups or for meetings of colleagues or friends, from 4 to 45 participants. Anyone who can kick a ball is able to enjoy this activity which can also be played under the supervision of referees, who will help in case of doubts with the rules or technical assistance.
The province of Malaga has several FOOTGOLF fields distributed along the Costa del Sol between Malaga, Marbella and Estepona, and from EPS, in case you need more information or want to make a reservation for your event, we recommend you contact an agency specialized in this activity, which is none other than RELOUNGE, a company that was created in 2012, whose main activity consists of organizing corporate and sports events, business incentives, "team building", as well as leisure activities.
