Gareth Bale is one of the best (and most famous) soccer players in the world. Like most world-class athletes, he's pretty jacked.

Bale was recently asked how he honed his muscular figure, and he gave (jokingly, I presume) an out-of-left-field answer.

"I’d played a fair bit of golf, so maybe it was from my golf swing," he said. "It could also be from the tan I’ve got from living in Spain."

So there it is -- not only does golf benefit the brain and help with cardio (if you walk 18 holes) but if you play enough of it you can apparently look like Bale.

If you play enough, you can maybe even do this.
