A cutting-edge animation featuring football star Gareth Bale has been rolled out in Wales as part of a new campaign to encourage people to play golf to improve their health and lifestyle.

‘Golf is Good’ is a new global project by The R&A, being piloted in Wales in partnership with Wales Golf, which builds on recent scientific research to promote the health and wellbeing benefits of playing the sport through creative storytelling.

The video shows golf lover Bale reaping the benefits of golf for health away from his pressures of life under the media spotlight as an international footballer.

It is being broadcast on Sky Sports in Wales and also across the digital platforms of Wales Golf.
