Salmon Arm Golf Club is breaking out of the mould with two new events.
Come June 18 and 25, the club will be offering 8-inch holes on the Heritage Course.
“We are doing this as a trial to see if people enjoy it in the community. I think it will be a great activity for families, it speeds up time on the course. It’s a little bit easier, a little bit faster,” said club spokesperson Sapphire Games.
The second new event is foot golf, a cross between soccer and golf.
Foot golf is played with a regulation number 5 soccer ball on shortened holes with 21-inch diameter cups – big enough to fit a soccer ball. The holes aren’t on the greens, but off to the side.
“Foot golf has really caught on in the States, people really enjoy it,” says Games. “They can dress up in crazy golf/soccer gear out on the field.”
Youth FootGolf Day will be July 5 at 4 p.m. and Adult FootGolf Day will be July 6 at 4 p.m. For more information, call 250-832-4727.
