Tweet #TwitterStories Visalias Valley Oak Golf Course plans to cut up to 30 percent of its water use this year, and an innovative new sport may help them do just that while bolstering rounds played.
The private contractor that operates the 225-acre course, CourseCo Inc., has received City of Visalia permission to cut water use by a mandated 20-30 percent by retiring nine holes of its three nine-hole layouts, converting the area into a new, less manicured course for the game of foot golf.
The new sport, which takes less time to play, appears to be taking off. The American Foot Golf League says California will have 20 courses as of this spring, which includes Visalia and the Madera Golf Course. They say the sport is now played in 30 states. It is a precision game where players kick a round soccer ball into a cup in as few shots as possible.
