However, while Real Madrid didn’t take to Gareth Bale’s love for golf too kindly, it appears Tottenham have decided to go a different route.

The 23-year-old disclosed that when he asked about the same, the club told him that they were put in place for Gareth Bale. Sergio Reguilon revealed that the golf holes were short and about 30 metres, with the defender concluding that he couldn’t believe it at first. Notably, after the interview went viral, multiple media reports revealed that Tottenham’s training ground has had a mini-golf course for several years now.
