Andy Murray opened up about improving his skills in golf
In a conversation with Manchester Evening News, Andy Murray opened up about improving his skills in golf and said that he has been practicing a lot. He also revealed plans to seek lessons to enhance his skills.
"I'm obviously getting to practice a lot more than the average person," said Andy Murray. "I obviously played a bit when I was younger, and if I can get the right sort of lessons and practice the right things, then yeah, I've got a chance of doing that."
He further spoke about his future goals for golf, saying:
"I'll play a lot of golf. I want to become a scratch golfer. I've always loved playing golf, but because of the issues with my back, I haven't played for five or six years. I would also love to be part of the next Olympics in some capacity, but I don't have any clear plans on what it is I'm going to do from a work perspective," he added.
He also shared how he wishes to live his life post-retirement:
"I don't know exactly what the rest of my life will look like, but I will still stay in touch with the sport. Initially, I want to be at home with my family. I want to spend a lot of time with my kids and my wife, so I won't be on the road much, I know that."
Andy Murray won a total of 739 matches in his career.
