France tries out footgolf

Issued on:

A footballer's desire to keep on kicking the old leather doesn't necessarily stop when the career ends. Could the solution be footgolf? This new sport which combines the thrill of kicking a ball with the elegance and calm of golf is rapidly expanding in some 16 countries around the world. France has just launched its first footgolf association, backed by some of its top former footballers. The first official tournament was held at a golf course north of Paris on 4 october.
