A strange little side quest
Even a quick game like Footgolf Evolution sits on top of decades — and sometimes centuries — of ideas. The penalty kick entered football's laws in 1891 and was nicknamed the 'kick of death' in its early days. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Footgolf Evolution feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
