A Proud Mother Moment: World Class FootGolf Athlete:

Adella Godfrey, Instructional Assistant at Badillo Elementary School, and her son, Jordan Godfrey.

My son, Jordan Godfrey, is playing a new sport called FootGolf. In FootGolf, you a soccer ball on a golf course into enlarged 21-inch-diameter FootGolf cups. FootGolf is similar to golf in that it has similar rules. Players try to get the soccer ball into large bucket sized holes in the fewest amount of kicks.

Jordan competed in the US National Championship in Chicago and won the Title of the Best FootGolfer in the United States. He went on to compete in only the second FootGolf World Cup in Argentina where the American FootGolf League sent 16 U.S. players.

There were 230 players and 26 countries with a team and individual competition. The United States competed against Hungary in the quarterfinals and against Holland in the semifinals. With two victories, they competed against Argentina in the final and won the title of the number one FootGolf country in the world.

Nothing could describe the feeling of hearing our national anthem being played as we celebrated our son and Team USA making FootGolf history.

Jordan graduated from California State University, Fullerton, and is looking forward to growing the sport. He works, trains, and competes in events at Arcadia Par 3 Golf and FootGolf Course.

This is a popular night-lit family facility that has 18 holes of FootGolf from 6am-10pm and can be played for $10–15 for a few hours of entertainment. FootGolf organizations host charity and fun corporate events as well as competitive tournaments.

The FootGolf World Cups are every four years, and are in the process of making bids to be in the Olympics. They are actively sharing the sport in order to attract major sponsors and TV coverage.

My husband and I were so honored to share the experience with our son. Nothing could describe the feeling of hearing our national anthem being played as we celebrated our son and Team USA making FootGolf history.
