Our Lake Doster Golf Course has come up with a new ploy to
increase play. Every Sunday afternoon, half the layout is available for a different
kind of game. Players need only bring a soccer ball and their feet. They kick
their ball around the course much as normal golfers move their small ball
around with clubs.
We've lived in homes adjacent to fairways for 35 years,
a long time to observe golfers in action. A few of them should be great Footgolf players. They've had lots of practice kicking their ball into an improved
position when they thought no one was watching.
Beautiful wife Sandy for several years got special chuckles observing
an older man who played the course by himself very early in the morning. He would
look around to ensure he was alone, and then drop a ball down the inside of his
pants leg into a good spot for his next shot. If it wasn't just right, he improved
the lie with a foot nudge or two.
Of course, Footgolf hadn't been invented when the old duffer entertained Sandy
