2) FootGolf Rules
Created by FootGolf USA, this helpful 4-minute video created by the American FootGolf League breaks down the basics of FootGolf, from what you should wear to what soccer ball you should use to the etiquette of FootGolf. Some helpful tips? You don’t need to run after your ball when you kick it (this might be more tempting than you think!), and you should never wear soccer cleats on the course or kick the ball off a golf green. As in golf, be aware of pace of play as well.
