Quentin Taranbino Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Seems to be all the rage these days. Anyone ever played? Will it properly catch on over here? Does it look a laugh or is it just a sport for fuds. Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMan_AUFC_1910 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think the sport might well take off in this country. Footgolf can now be played in Glasgow, Cumbernauld, Ayr and Dunoon. Been told there will be courses in Edinburgh, Dundee and Inverness soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Played once at Cumbernauld. It was pretty shite tbh, won't be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Cumbernauld's course is incredibly difficult. The pin positioning is awful. Pubs decent enough, though there's no showers. Milngavie is a great course, excellent facilities although we got banned. There isn't one opening in Dundee anytime soon, it's Perth first. We'll be heading over to Dunoon next year as the Ayr one is only open at stupid times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMan_AUFC_1910 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think Dunoon is the hardest. Have played it 3 times and haven't managed to hit under par. I think Milngavie has really nice scenery, but find it too easy. Ayr is now open Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. I like Cumbernauld actually, the majority of the pins have now been moved.

Wilky1878 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Similar to this does anyone know of anywhere that has those football pool tables? I'd love to have a go at that. Think a footgolf course would be dragged out and get boring eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 You can hire the footpool tables. I can't imagine anything worse tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 ImageUploadedByPie & Bovril1455349273.945670.jpg Look at it. Just fucking look at it. That one looks small, cheap and tacky there are much better ones available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Booked up for Stanton and quite possibly Linkithgow in July. Anybody used the one in Brechin yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoonsYouthTeam Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Had a round in Edinburgh today and thought it was great fun. Wasn't too sure what to expect as I've not got the most powerful shot but found accuracy in the short game was more important generally. Ended up 1 over which I was delighted about. Think for those like myself who don't have an aptitude for golf it's a great substitute and was a great way to spend a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Played this today at Castle Douglas with a guy from work. He was an absolute bandit, holing shots from all over the place Good fun despite that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I played at Ayr a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a great laugh. We were all shite though, scores of +10, +12, +16, +17. For the most part it was hilly, and on the 8th hole if you tapped the ball and missed the hole, you'd roll 50 foot past. It was ridiculous. Think we're trying Cumbernauld out soon.

Deeboy Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 There a hole at Cumbernauld that's positioned on the tip of quite a slope. If you don't stop within about a 2 yard radius of the hole you're basically fucked and are about 20 yards away in long grass. We went with work and my boss was on about shot 18 (we never read the rules) before picking his ball up and walking off. I'm at Linlithgow July 2nd. Train day from Dundee so I'm not expecting a low scoring affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbernauld is far better. It has so much more variety! I'm only 15 minutes from Coylton, but usually end up travelling to Cumbernauld. I will keep quiet about the scores I get !! The 5th & the 8th hole are a joke, more so the 8th. I think they are looking at changing the 8th thankfully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjw Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Motherwell played a lot of football golf on a preseason trip a couple of years back. We got fucked out of Europe by an Icelandic pub team and ended up in a relegation play off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 After being a bit hesitant of footgolf further up the pitch I've decided it's at least worth a go and me and a couple of mates are going to try linlithgow at some point this summer. What's everyone's average score on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 A hunner yarder from Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5th and 8th hole were moved a wee while ago so the course is now pretty fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Played in Cardiff on a mate's stag do last month. 12 of us started, 11 finished after someone sliced a tee shot into the burn/lake that ran alongside one of the holes, with his ball floating away never to be seen again. We split into 4 groups of 3 which should've worked well but we ended up all on the same hole at some points just due to impatience. I played much better than Ayr, think I finished 1 over for the 18 holes. Very flat course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
