TOTTENHAM left-back Sergio Reguilon has joked that the club have created personalised golf holes for winger Gareth Bale at their training ground.
The pair both moved from Real Madrid to North London in the summer, with the defender joining on a permanent deal while Bale agreed a loan switch.

Bale is known for his love of golf, with the 31-year-old planning to go on a £700,000 golf trip around the world with his friends once he retires.
His desire to play a round after training earned him the nickname ‘The Golfer’ at Real.
And Spurs have embraced his second love according to Reguilon, who also stated that the Wales international CAN speak Spanish.
Commenting on Bale, he told El Larguero: “Bale is very happy here, he looks different. The language is everything for him.
“He speaks good Spanish, a little, like I speak English.
“But here you can see he’s happy, he bonds with the teammates after training, stays longer also after training, gets along with everybody, jokes around.
“He is a lot happier in England. Maybe he was scared of failing or embarrassed to speak Spanish, I can ask him tomorrow! I don’t know if he’ll return to Real Madrid.
“We joke about golf sometimes. But one thing that surprised me is that in the Tottenham training complex there is a mini golf course and apparently that is for Bale!
“Some players go golfing after training. Real Madrid should have done that!”
Reguilon then discussed what it is like playing under Jose Mourinho, as he said: “Very, very good, excellent.
“He’s a great guy, I love these kinds of managers: demanding, passionate. I’m chuffed.
“He gets angry when we don’t do what he asks, but like every other manager. But he’s very friendly with all players.”
Real included a buy-back clause in Reguilon’s contract when they sold him to Spurs, and there has been talk they could look to bring him back next summer.
And when asked if he could return to the Bernabeu in the future, the ex-Sevilla loanee failed to rule it out.
He said: “I would love to. I have always said that. Madrid is my home. I don’t know what the future will hold, but the possibility is there”.
