Mike Tindall looked delighted to be back on the golf course this week, as the retired rugby player shared a series of photos in the sunshine on his Instagram account, including a snap of himself wearing a striped golf polo and white cap, writing: "So good being back out there."
Golf courses are among the first leisure venues to have re-opened to the public in May following closures during the coronavirus lockdown. But Mike isn't the only royal who enjoys the art of perfecting his swing, his wife Zara often supports him at charity matches along with their daughters, Mia, six, and one-year-old Lena.
Take a look at the best photos of the royal family playing golf.
