FA golf course to relieve ‘boredom’

England’s footballers are to get their own designated golf course as part of plans to upgrade the country’s national football centre.

According to the BBC, a nine-hole golf course is planned for St George’s Park, the £105m centre of excellence which is to be the base for up to 24 different England teams in Staffordshire.

The decision to design a golf course into the facilities comes after former England skipper Steven Gerrard called the training centre “boring”.
