When you were young, did you and your friends or siblings make up your own games? Imagine if the games you played as a child went on to became a recognised sport, played across the world and who knows maybe even one day the Olympics!?

Well that's where American Alex Van Alen finds himself. The sport he invented as a youngster is called "FlingGolf". Played on a golf course, the aim is to get your ball in the hole, but you don't always hit the ball, you fling it.

Alex Van Alen explains all to Sportshour's Caroline Barker.
