Kildare (Irish: Cill Dara, meaning "church of the oak") is a town in County Kildare, Ireland. Its population of 8,412 (2011 Census) makes it the eighth largest town in County Kildare and the 55th largest in the state, with a growth rate of 8% since the 2006 census. Although Kildare gives its name to the county, Naas is the county town. The town lies on the R445, some 50 km (31 mi) west of Dublin – near enough for it to have become, despite being a regional centre in its own right, a commuter town for the capital.

As I was so disappointed with my original score in footgolf, I wanted, nah, needed to improve on my score. So I went to Highfield Golf Club & FootGolf Kildare, Carbury, Co. Kildare, Ireland, when I was home for a short break. Went with the brother on another wet and windy day, for my second try out, and his first, at FootGolf. And as I expected I dropped about 10 on my score. It was also amusing to see my brother go through the same difficulties that a first time player goes through……skewing it wide, wondering why your football skills have deserted you, and over hitting on the putting green. Although not as amazing as the course I was in at Geneva, the Highfield course had its own unique difficulties. It had a lot of long greens, and a few more dangerous water hazards. I tried out a few different kinds of kicks, and on the putting green I tried to under hit it as much as I could. It worked as I got a much better score of 85, plus 15 to par, and for the last 5 I hit par in all of them holes, a great improvement. Really happy to see some sort of progress, while the brother was fuming with a score of 96, plus 26, and he the footballer in the family having played semi professional! Will be back to Highfield, now that I got the FootGolf bug, can’t wait!
