First footgolf event gets going at Caliraya with 40 teams expected

Thirty-two teams have already signed up for the Philippines’ first-ever FootGolf Tournament at Caliraya Springs Golf Club in Cavinti, Laguna, which will officially be the launching pad of the new sport that’s gaining popularity abroad.

Only eight slots are left to be filled for the event getting off the ground on Sunday, starting at 8 a.m., as the event has drawn participants from established football clubs and school varsity programs, seeing action in the Open, College and High School divisions.

Heading the roster are the National U Ladies Football Club, UPLB Mens Football Team, PEREF SouthRidge, Kampilan, Cherry Turf, Gold, Inter Manila, 202 Brigade, Lumban Police, Cavinti Police, SAF, Acquire Football Club, CSGSI Caddies Kids and Viloria.

Teams will consist of four players in a co-ed format, with the best three scores counting toward the team total, and like golf, the fewest kicks before holing out is the best score.
