A Scottish footgolf club that was asked to move to a new venue because traditional golf is currently so popular is taking its case to Scotland’s Public Services Ombudsman. According to the Daily Record, Ayr FootGolf Club was asked to leave Dalmilling in 2020 by South Ayrshire Council and was told to prove its worth at a different venue nine miles away. David Craig, chair of Ayr FootGolf Club, said: “We’ve often felt the contempt of South Ayrshire Council officials for those who have grown up or live in poverty. “I expected it to be a challenge to step into the world of golf and prove the case for access to a golf course that wasn’t based on purely revenue generation. Since the return to golf was permitted, all our golf courses have become considerably busier.
