What is Gareth Bale's handicap?
The Welshman, who has a three hole golf course built into his back garden, plays off a handicap of two. He did previously have a handicap of "three or four" in 2020, but has improved over the past couple of years.
This handicap means that Bale is way better than your average golfer, but he's still a bit off the pace of 'scratch', which is 0. He's come a long way, as the Daily Mail reported in 2015 that he had "a respectable six".
What's his home golf course like?
The three par-three holes are modelled on high profile venues in the golfing world.
These include: 12th at Augusta, the Postage Stamp at Royal Troon and 17th at Sawgrass. The dimensions are slightly different, with the Sawgrass hole being smaller and a lot harder than the real life version. You can read more about it here.
