Paducah Parks & Recreation is hosting the sixth annual FootGolf Paducah Open on Saturday, September 26 at Midtown Golf Course located at 1122 Adams Street. FootGolf is a hybrid sport that has rules similar to golf as players attempt to kick a soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible.
The FootGolf Paducah Open is an 18-hole competitive tournament. Prizes will be given with first place winning $75, second place winning $50, and third place winning $25. People of all ages and abilities are welcome. Each participant needs to bring a soccer ball.
Registration for the free event begins on site at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start for players at 9:30 a.m. Since Midtown Golf Course has a nine-hole FootGolf course, participants will be completing the course twice for the tournament.
Midtown Golf Course, located behind Jetton soccer field, offers a free nine-hole course where traditional golfers, footgolfers, and disc golfers can play at the same time with each hole having a disc golf basket and holes for golf and FootGolf.
