FootGolf, which is played on a traditional golf course, involves the kicking of a soccer ball down the fairway of the course, with the intention, similar to golf, of reaching the hole in as few "strokes" (kicks) as possible. In FootGolf, the hole is increased to 21" in diameter in order to accommodate a regulation soccer ball.
