Residents in Clare object to unusual 'FootGolf' course

The development of Clare’s first FootGolf course has been met with stiff opposition from the residents of Hurler’s Cross, who say that the development will have a negative impact “on every aspect of the lives” of local people.

FootGolf is exactly what it sounds like — golf played with a football instead of golf ball and with players using their feet instead of clubs.

The game is relatively new but it has become increasingly popular in Ireland over the past 12 months.
