This week I decided to do my current event on foot golf. Foot golf is a fairly new sport and is only played at a few golf courses in America. Although it may sound funny It looks like a lot of fun and I certainly hope that at some point it comes to the upper valley. Foot golf is pretty much the same exact thing as golf only with a soccer ball and a bigger hole, other than that the rules and everything are all the same. Although it sounds really cool there are just a few problems with the sport. One problem is that golf is played by a lot of old people that can not kick a soccer ball that well, and since they pay the courses the majority of their income it would not be smart for companies to invest too much money in foot golf courses. Also since the majority of people that play foot golf are fairly young they could become a liability and companies are worried that they might get out of control and damage the course. One benefit of foot golf is that it does not require too much skill especially if u played soccer as a kid, where in golf it could take you many years to acquire the skill and muscle memory that it takes to send a small ball 100 yards down a field with a club. I think foot golf would be pretty cool especially for soccer coaches because they could bring their teams to a course for a practice once in a while or something and it would be a fun pass time on weekends. I bet it would be a big hit and I hope it comes to the upper valley some time soon.
I like how you wrote your blog about a more positive ad personal interest than the typical blog post. This is very interesting and I agree that it could be fun and interesting to bring to the upper valley. I had not thought about some the points you made that would make this sport popular and unpopular. Good job.

I liked your post about foot golf, I never never that foot golf was a sport and your points on it were very funny and interesting. I liked your input on how it would be very hard for most people to play this because a lot of them are older. I thought that was very funny. Keep up the good work J-Money.
