ÖSTERREICHISCHER FOOTGOLF-BUND

FOOTGOLF AUSTRIA

Welcome to the ÖFGB

 

!

The ÖFGB is the first official

Austrian FootGolf

Association/Federation founded

in 2016 by merger of several

Austrian FootGolf clubs e.g.

FootGolf Vienna, 1. OÖ. FootGolf

Club (Union Windischgarsten)

and various Golf clubs and

approved by the Republic of

Austria.

Based   on      para   2   The   purposes   of   the   Association, Section 1 of the ÖFGB Statutes: The    Österreichische    FootGolf-Bund    (hereinafter referred    to    as    the    ÖFGB)    represents    the    not profit-oriented   politically   and   religiously   neutral non-profit   Federation   of   the   FootGolf   clubs   and golf    clubs    of    the    republic    of    Austria    as    the Umbrella Association……. THE    ÖFGB    IS    OFFICIAL    MEMBER        OF    THE    FIFG   (Federation for International FootGolf)

"Keep calm and play FootGolf  - 

Enrich your leisure time!“

It    is    still    a    very    young    sport,    which    only    exists since     approx.     2006,     but     already     world-wide gaining   ground.   The   origin   of   this   sport   is   unclear, but   it   is   well   known   that   in   2008   the   first   FootGolf tournament   was   held   on   a   9-hole   golf   course   by Dutch   and   Belgian   professional   footballers   in   the Netherlands.      Since      the      American      FootGolf League   was   only   founded   in   2011,   it   would   be quite    possible    that    this    sport    originally    came from   Europe   via   the   USA   back   to   Europe.   The   1st FootGolf   World   Cup   was   held   in   Hungary   in   2012. FootGolf   is   a   harmonious   combination   of   soccer and   golf   and   is   now   being   played   in   more   than   40 countries   and   we   would   like   to   make   it   possible for   those   interested   to   do   this   sport.   However, FootGolf   is   not   to   be   confused   with   Foot ball golf as   there   are   no   obstacles   such   as   gates,   tires   or poles   at   FootGolf.   FootGolf   is   played   like   Golf.   The only   difference   is   that      instead   of   the   golf   ball football    balls    are    used    and    instead    of    the    golf clubs   the   foot   is   used   to   cope      the   Golf   course. With   as   few   shots   as   possible,   the   ball   is   to   be punched    from    a    marked    tee-off        in    a    hole corresponding    to    soccer    balls    (instead    of    10.8 centimeters   50   to   53   centimeters   in   diameter). The   FootGolf   rules   are   analogous   to   the   classic Golf   rules   and   of   course   disciplined   behavior   and adherence   to   etiquette   are   also   expected.   It   does not    fit    to    wear    a    football    outfit,    but    poloshirt, knee-length      golf   pants   and   knee-high   Golf   socks are   required.   Mostly   are   only   football   boots   with multi-studs   turf   outsoles   allowed   or   shoes   that are suitable for turf or indoor floors. Important    info    related    to    new    FIFG    FootGolf rules 2018 ! Please       make       sure       to       check/read       them accordingly,   it    is   the   responsibility   of   the   players to   know   the   new   rules   as   long   as   they   participate in official FIFG or ÖFGB tournaments.
