The Malaysian Insight

DO you play football? What about golf? What about those two at the same time? That’s right, now you can do just that with FootGolf.

Combining the precision of football and the rules of golf, FootGolf has been played in different variations in the past but it was only in 2008 that it was launched officially by Michael Jansen and Bas Korsten, the creators of the FootGolf uniform and basic rules.

And it isn’t just two different sports slapped together – FootGolf worldwide is regulated by the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) and they even have their own World Cup.

Now, FootGolf has landed in Malaysia and the rules are simple – kick a football into the 21-inch cup in the lowest number of shots and win.

Try it yourself at Bukit Jelutong Golf Club in Selangor or Pulai Springs Resort in Johor Bahru. – December 19, 2018.
