The comments on here are ridiculous. I've played that course regularly, it's both more difficult than it looks and the pros are also much better than the commenters are assuming they are.
None of them seem to have particularly impressive ball-striking skills but very impressive accuracy when close to the hole

I've never played this sport, but played football and play golf. I admit that as a simple watcher it looks probably easier than it is in real life. So I understand the comments of people feeling bold and claiming that they could do better (they closed with a -9, remember it). The rules are probably making it look even easier, you just take the best shot and have 2 tries.
If you make it out to California, lmk. I have another professional I play on tour with who'd love to match
The fact that he has exactly the same name as me is literally throwing my head right off
I think the word "only" would be more appropriate than "best".
If these are worlds best i need to start playing. Could drive the green on basically any one of those holes.

What the hell is wrong with all the haters in the comments? Apparently every commenter is some kind of secret footgolf champion, who knew? 🤷Weird why they aren't getting out on the course and beating some course records and collecting some trophies and prize money instead of writing comments how they would be so much better.

You have to realise football is the most popular sport in the world, a lot of people have played it at semi pro level, and it's easy to spot that they use only one type of shot, and that their foot placements when kicking the ball are not ideal, that's why a lot of the people are saying they could do better, because a lot of the people probably could
Should have played from the same tees
People who have not tried this IRL don't seem to realize how hard it is to anticipate how the ball bounces and rolls on an uneven surface. Too bad the video doesn't tell how long these holes are.

@@paulbiller4071 Yeah we'd love to film with some big names. I think the most important thing people are missing here is that these are the two best players in the world playing for a KZread channel, not a tournament. They're just having some fun. We were around when they were doing some serious rounds and preparation and it was a whole different level. Just like a pro soccer player isn't going to go as hard for a silly KZread penalty challenge.
Hey, this was randomly on recommended, never played or watched footgolf before- They seem like top guys and clearly both know and have developed a lot of strategy in the game, and they do clearly have good feel for distance on the approach but if this is the best in the world standard, i think footgolf has a long way to develop as a sport. It may be over pretention to say but i stopped playing football 6 years ago to focus on work, was a midfielder with good range of passing, playing at good amateur standard and genuinely think that given a few rounds i'd be competing with these guys, especially on the drives. it looks like maybe a safe choice to do this but they were both kicking pretty weak in distance and some fo the wayward tee shots were actually amusingly poor . They were always putting shape on drives that clearly would've been better off with a straight, longer drive suggesting neither of them seem capable of the technique required for cutting through the ball to drive it far and straight? I think i'd be taking less shots to get to the green on several of these holes honestly. Do you know the standard of football they played at before playing footgolf? Edit: Just realised they are wearing gatwick footgolf gear as well, so this is their home course/ workplace? Yeah, i'm pretty sure that given a week of practice, any even decent amateur standard footballer would be wiping the floor with these guys. Get yourselves a league-standard player with even a hand-full of rounds practice and they'd be embarrassing them.

Mate I get what you are saying but at the same time the grass on the course is different from the type you and I would play on. For the fairway and green the grass is very short and thus the ball carries quite a bit further and there are lots of divets in the course that a normal football pitch does not have. I have played footgolf before and I can tell you it is definitely one of those it looks easier than it actually is type of sports.

It's much harder than it looks! We're working on getting some pro players on the channel so we can see how they do. There are a couple of videos out there and they do alright but lack the technical skill when it comes to approach shots, putts, reading the green, etc. Will be fun to see how it all plays out!
I genuinely have to ask if these are really the two best footgolfers in the world because one of them has a kicking technique that leaves a lot to be desired I thought they were bad off the 1st tee but the guy on the 2nd tee barely got the ball past the litter bin. The fact that you drew with the best 2 in the world also cast doubts about the level of competition. Perhaps 'We played the only 2 footgolfers in the world' would be a more accurate title?
