The ÖFGB is the first official

Austrian FootGolf

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…….

"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.
