In golf, however, you never kick a footbag more than once consecutively. Golf is a distinctive study of foot angles, bag contact points, and contact velocity, and their effect on the resulting flight path of a full range of footbag types from rock hard to big, floppy watermelons. Now, if someone could rectify these observations with the fact that I can kick 5,000 consecutive on demand, but can't consistently make a 5-ft putt, they would bestow a great gift of peace and tranquility on my life. Obviously, footbag golf requires some unique skills that are not found in consecutives and freestyle. The social aspect of golfing groups makes it less threatening than other more individualistic or competitive games.
Golf is simply more accessible, and thus a valuable promotional tool.
Accessibility is fine if you happen to have the mindset and skills that golf require. Other people can just as easily tune into net or freestyle. The social aspect, while real, can also backfire. I have, and it's not exactly less threatening, or more fun. Some say footbag golf is inherently stupid, and providing access to footbag through such silliness is self-defeating.
