Sattori's AFGL profile points to Michigan State Games FootGolf event

Fernando Sattori’s updated AFGL tournament-results page puts a 43-year-old from Centreville, Virginia, on the doorstep of the Michigan State Games as FootGolf turns into a busy August stop in Lansing. The page was updated August 4 and does what a veteran ledger should do: it tracks first-, second- and third-place finishes, top-10s, top-25s, points and earnings, the numbers that reveal a player’s shape over a season better than any single round.

For Sattori, that kind of profile is the real form check. At 43, the question is not just whether he can flash one good round, but whether his finishes keep landing high enough to protect points and earnings across the AFGL schedule. The league has long billed itself as the “Major League of the sport of FootGolf in the United States since 2011,” and its roots go back to a Nov. 19, 2011 founding, followed by the first U.S. footgolf tournament on July 22, 2012, at Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. That history is why the player ledger matters now: AFGL has built a national structure where depth finishes carry real weight.

The next test is already on the board. The AFGL results page lists FootGolf for Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9 at the Michigan State Games, while the State Games of Michigan places the event at Royal Scot Golf & Bowl, 4722 West Grand River Avenue in Lansing. Its event page lists Saturday, August 8, 2026, with check-in at 8:30 a.m. and a 9:00 a.m. start.

The State Games of Michigan says athletes will compete over 18 holes for gold, silver and bronze, and a tournament listing says AFGL Tour players will be there to help introduce the sport. That gives the Lansing stop a dual purpose: it is a competition for medals and a public-facing showcase for the game.

The same weekend also includes the Great Lakes Open, another AFGL event listed as a 250-point tournament. That makes the Lansing corridor a meaningful stretch on the summer calendar, with Sattori’s profile serving as the cleanest snapshot of how much ground a veteran can gain, or lose, when the season’s pressure points start to stack up.
