So what do you think of Footgolf?

[AZGrizFan]

Soccer on ice in bowling shoes. What could be better?

[SunCoastBlueHen]

Sockey.

Could be the next big thing.

So what do you think of Footgolf?

No problem with the activity, but there are a couple thousand people watching. You want to play footgolf or lacrosse golf or whatever this thing is called, more power to you. We made up all kinds of crazy games/sports growing up. But going to watch other people do it? That's where I draw the line.

Why? What does it matter to you if others go to watch a sporting event that appeals to them? I don't care for baseball and I may make fun of it occasionally but it's no skin off my back if thousands go to baseball games. How is sockey any different?

We set up a course for a couple of years. It was a really fun sport but never took hold for us.

That’s what Ovie will be doing in five years after all the vodka kicks in. Glad you’re here to protect us!

We set up a course for a couple of years. It was a really fun sport but never took hold for ANYONE ANYWHERE and was another failed attempt by golf courses to remain relevant.

There's some truth to that, but the problem wasn't demand, it was over supply. Golf aint going nowhere.

The # of courses grew by 700% in the 90’s due to real estate development rather than demand while the # of golfers was stagnant.

We averaged 35,000 rounds that decade but as 7 other courses came on line we shrunk to the low 20’s.
