The Foot Golf thread has inspired me to think of other sports that could be joined together. I've a few:
Boxing Badminton could be entertaining - lob the shuttlecock high in the air, get under the net and punch your opponent as it comes down.
Archery Football could be a bit dangerous especially if you are in goal
Weightlifting water polo might not work either

Hang on I think Im on to something here, the aim is hit it hard enough so that the guy with the gun misses
Football Snooker could be good, you have to kick a ball in one of 6 holes, however snooker football where you have to score a goal by hitting a football with a snooker cue, probably not.
instead of bouncing the ball you have to do keepy uppy to move with the ball
Cricket golf - full size cricket field; same laws; only differences: golf balls instead of cricket balls and a putter instead of a bat.
Pole vault bungee - haven't really thought this one through yet...
How high can you jump off the edge of a building?
Underwater Golf
Can you hold your breath long enough to sink that putt? Every holes a massive bunker, bring your sand wedge!
Mixed Doubles Formula 1
Lady drives, man navigates
Badminton Lacrosse
Exactly like Lacrosse, but trying to throw the shuttlecock around instead, the most infuriating thing in the world
Rugby Polo
Imagine the scrums!
American Beach volley-football
Oh wait, that's already a thing, lingerie football
C'mon you've gotta make it interesting and do it the other way around, whoever dont get lost (or who doesnt get lost the worst) due to poor directions wins!!
The 'bowler' must, from a circle whose front edge is about 18 yards from the 'batsman' (and in whose centre is obviously the other wicket), deliver with their feet a regulation (or perhaps slightly smaller, futsal-sized) football at a speed of their choosing towards a large wicket (say, a metre wide by a metre and a half high)
The 'batsman' must knock the ball away with either legs or head. Any other part of the body can result in a TBW (Torso Before Wicket) appeal.
Hit ball twice and handled the ball are obviously modes of dismissal more relevant here than in cricket.
Fielding is the best bit, though. Only the keeper is allowed to use his or her hands, just as in football. And a 'catch' can only be taken by the keeper. What the other fielders have to do is, without using their hands, get it back to the keeper before it touches the ground. They are allowed to take, collectively, as many touches as they can to achieve this.
Runs and boundaries work in much the same way as cricket, as do run-outs (I'd make the batsmen have to reach a line perpendicular to each wicket, for the sake of ease, and have the wickets 22 yards apart still).
I think that pretty much covers it.

Though why they wouldn't call it 'footpool' I've no idea.
