It seems like Nadal is a perfectionist, even when he is playing a completely different sport. Recently, he has been playing some golf tournaments where he was among the best players in the competition. This Sunday, he took part in the Qromia Hexagonal Golf Circuit at the Arabella Golf course.
Now, Nadal is playing at the Balearic Professional Golf Championship in Alcanada. Some latest pictures from that tournament recently surfaced on Twitter.

Notably, Nadal performed the best in the Qromia Hexagonal Golf Circuit with 37 hits. Interestingly, the rules are quite different here than in a normal golf match, as the team with a less total hits wins the match. In the Handicap classification modality, Nadal and his team did not do that well, as they finished in the 10th position. Now, Nadal is participating in the Balearic Championship, where could see another great performance from the Spaniard.
In the past, Nadal showed his love for golf as he played with the likes of Novak Djokovic and others in Indian Wells.

Meanwhile, Nadal still has not started his practice since suffering an abdominal injury at Wimbledon. At that time, Nadal said the injury will take 3-4 weeks to heal. Although Nadal has great knowledge about his body, playing golf could possibly aggravate his abdominal injury further.
However, Nadal could come back to training pretty soon, as he is scheduled to play at the National Bank Open in Montreal. This tournament will take place from the 7th to the 14th of August. Safe to say, this will be a good test for the Spaniard before the US Open, as he will get all the information about his fitness.
