Gareth Bale is a one of a kind athlete.

Fast, strong and an all round unit, Bale is just something else.

So it’s no surprise that he can absolutely cream a golf ball.

The Real Madrid forward is on his end of season break and has taken the time off to play a lot of golf.

He visited Wentworth during the week.

The 27-year-old then decided to take a visit to a place that only royalty descends, Bakers Bay.

The golf course is private and a self-described paradise where visitors are encouraged to play golf topless, in shorts and with no shoes, all of which break the rules of most golf clubs.

It’s a place for the elite and has grown in prominence since the regular visits from Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas and Smylie Kauffman.
