Pep dons golfing hat for celebrity Pro- Am

-

With the football season over, Pep Guardiola and some of the biggest names in the sport have taken the opportunit­y to enjoy a spot of golf at the celebrity Pro- Am at Wentworth ahead of the BMW PGA Championsh­ip, according to the Daily Mail.

The Manchester City manager, making his debut in this Pro- Am, played alongside the in- form Tommy Fleetwood at Wentworth in the traditiona­l star- studded pre- tournament event.

Guardiola, fresh from City’s recordbrea­king Premier League triumph, was understand­ably in a joyous mood as he mixed with his fellow high- profile sport stars and celebritie­s.

The Spaniard, known for his love of golf, was pictured sharing jokes with one of the pre- tournament favourites in Fleetwood, who he played a round of 18 with in April when City were crowned title winners via Manchester United losing against West Brom.

However, Guardiola enjoyed going back to his roots as he was also snapped talking to rivals Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes ahead of his tee- off on Wednesday morning.

However some observers may have noticed Guardiola’s poor etiquette on the course. The 47- yearold took time out of his schedule to take a quick phone- call.

Former Southampto­n and England star Matt le Tissier, as well as ex- goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, were also out on the course showing off their golf skills alongside Guardiola and Fleetwood.
