Warmly Welcomed by Former World No. 1 Golfer With Open Arms, Rafael Nadal Temporarily Ditches Tennis to Have a Swing at One of Spain’s Most Scenic Courses

Rafael Nadal has unfortunately been absent from the tour this season because of his injury. While he is aiming to recover and return to the sport at his best level, he is keeping busy with other activities. Recently, the Spaniard visited the estate of a former number 1 golfer and enjoyed his time by hitting a few strokes.

Rafael Nadal is an avid golfer. His favorite sport is no doubt tennis, but golf follows suit. He shared many pictures of himself playing golf with his fans. He has also played in various golf events and even shared a picture of playing golf with a fellow player this year.

Although he is absent from tennis, Nadal is not absent from sports altogether. The Spaniard is continuing to work on other aspects of his life as he waits to come back to his best and put the tennis circuit on fire once again. Till then, Rafa is spending his time playing golf. He is not playing golf by himself, though. In fact, he played the sport with a Spanish legend of the sport, Severiano Ballesteros, a three-time golf number 1.

Ballesteros’ family invited Nadal to his estate, where he played golf with his family. He shared a picture he clicked with the Ballesteros family on his Instagram page and also added two pictures on his Instagram story. The first picture he uploaded was with Ballesteros and his family. The second picture consisted of a view of Nadal hitting a stroke.

On his Instagram page, he wrote, “An amazing day… more pics to come… 😉“, with another picture of him hitting a stroke. The King of Clay is enjoying his time before he eventually comes back for a last hurrah. This is not the only time he was seen enjoying golf this year.

He was quite familiar with the Spaniard as he noticed his idiosyncrasies properly. Nadal’s love for golfing is keeping him busy, but the King of Clay will definitely return to show why he has the title once again.
