FOOTGOLFRiver Ridge opened ldquoGreatest Sport Ever Inventedrdquo in 2013 and the sport has grown tremendously with over 500 courses in 49 states FootGolf is a very social sport that combines the best of the popular sport of soccer with golf Similar to golf the playersrsquo intent is to kick a ball into the hole with the least amount of strokes possible FootGolf uses the basic model of golf with a tee box a green bunkers hazards and 18 holes of play The main differences are the cups which are 21 inches in diameter shorter holes and the lack of equipment needed Itrsquos fun and very affordable For more information call (805) 983-4653 or visit our website at wwwriverridge-golfclubcom
