Le footgolf, combinant le golf et le soccer, est offert depuis peu au club de golf de Beauport. [...] Pour le pratiquer, l'équipement est assez rudimentaire. Il n'y a pas de sac à traîner, contrairement au golf. Il suffit d'une paire d'espadrilles ou de souliers de soccer intérieur. Les bâtons sont remplacés par le pied, et la balle par un ballon. [...] Le parcours de neuf trous peut être [complété] en moins de deux heures. La distance à parcourir pour entrer le ballon dans la coupe peut varier de 130 à 180 verges. 1, record 2, French, - footgolf
