With just over a week remaining for FIFA World Cup 2022 to begin in Qatar, Wales manr Rob P has put an early ban on Gareth Bale from playing golf. Welshman is a well-kwn lover of sport, having faced severe criticism for his habit of playing golf during his time at Real Mrid. Bale was often criticised during his time at Santiago Bernabeu for his golfing habits, with some going to extent of stating that Welshman prioritized golf over playing for Real Mrid.
Wales coach bans Gareth Bale from playing golf
While speaking to media about nda of Wales ahe of all-important FIFA World Cup, manr Rob P replied, "Yeah. re’s golf. We’re out re to do a job. In past Gareth, Kieffer Moore or Aaron Ramsey have come up to me and asked me, ‘What’s plan for tomorrow afteron? Are re meetings? I’d say, ‘, re are meetings, so if you want nine holes n go and play."

Speaking of same, Welsh coach ded, "But that is when you have a week building up to a double-heer. Out re, we won’t have eugh time. Every four days re is a game. It’s relentless." Bale's love for golf is such that at one point in his Real Mrid career, he also went on to mock club after Wales qualified for Euro 2020 competition.
On that occasion, Bale stood behind a banner that re, "Wales. Golf. Mrid. In That Order." It is believed that banner was a direct response to former Real Mrid star Predrag Mijatovic, who h claimed that Bale prioritizes playing for Wales and playing golf over playing for Los Blancos. With games coming thick and fast at FIFA World Cup, it seems unlikely that 33-year-old would have much time to play golf.
