Golf is traditionally known as a rich man’s sport, while football, on the other hand, is the kind of sport one expects to find more readily in poor rural communities and townships of South Africa.

Mphake is Executive Director of FootGolf South Africa and believes foot golf, a hybrid sport that combines football and golf, and is played on a golf course without golf clubs, but feet, is the first democratic sport in South Africa as it is all encompasses in its nature.

He says the sport provides and opportunity for South Africans to build a new sporting code without any historical predicaments and without access and transformation challenges. Forty countries will take part in the fourth FootGolf World Cup in the US in May and South Africa will become the first African country to take part in the tournament.However, getting sponsors, as Mphake explains, has been a difficult task since it’s a new sport in the country.
