Rafa is a Champion again!!!

... at golf, anyway. Hehe ...

Marca carried the following report of Rafa's success over the weekend ...

"Rafa Nadal is raring to be firing on all cylinders next season as he continues rehabilitation work on his knee. However, in between sessions, the world no. 4 has found the time to prove, yet again, that when he retires from tennis he will have no trouble trading in his rackets for a golf club.

Indeed, Nadal has run out victorious in a scratch golf trophy in a league held at the world-class Pula course, in Palma de Mallorca.

The Pula league is contested over 11 weekends (it got underway on 17th November and concludes on 27th January) and the winner in each variation is determined by averaging each player's nine best results. Nadal won the scratch trophy with a score of 29.

In his autobiography, 'Rafa', Nadal previously revealed that he once considered giving up tennis for golf, after being diagnosed with a congenital problem with a small bone in his left foot in 2005, aged 19.

"That possibility, which is somewhat remote, has to wait for now, and I hope forever", the 11-time Grand Slam champion continued in the book.

After a 5-month break following his defeat at Wimbledon, Nadal has only just resumed training on court, specifically on hard court."

And here's little video clip of his swing ...

Are you still awake? Wasn't it Mark Twain who said that golf ruined a good walk? I agree. Funny thing is that I've seen Rafa in 3 different sets of golf gear from various sources reporting this story, so make your own mind up.

I still find him unbelieveably attractice in his golf gear though. I need to get help ... [something the hatahs have been saying for some time *chortle*]
