FROM STREETGAMES TO STREETGOLF: A STREET CHALLENGE

Golf game is not an easy game to understand for everyone. There're codes, etiquettes and more imortantly huge fees. Golf appear to be out of reach of people with low incomes, they don't even consider playing golf despite they secretly dream to. Isn't it easlily understandable considering the price of the golf gear,the golf apparel, country club fee and green fee... Nike tried once to be a game changer bringing golf to the mass, it actually worked thanks to the advent of Tigerwoods but only in the U.S. 
The challenge is enormous: how to bring a sport considered as elite and high income delight exclusivity, to the doorstep of the mass? How to be a real life game changer? How to engage youth and communities from lower socio-economic background? How to improve self-esteem, leaderschip and bound local community workers while having fun?
That's the challenge  streetgames is willing to take on with streetgolf !
