Le Golf National has just hosted a thrilling Olympics competition and now many golf fans will be wondering whether they can take to the course themselves.
The 2024 Olympics will go down as one of the greatest golf tournaments of all time. There were so many top players in contention until the very end.
Silver medallist Tommy Fleetwood, bronze medallist Hideki Matsuyama and the likes of Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm all had the opportunity to win gold on the back nine on Sunday.
They were no match for world number one Scottie Scheffler, though, whose nine-under final round meant that he stood on the top step of the podium.
The American’s performance would have inspired many golfers around the world to get their clubs out.
And, where better to test your game than the very course that hosted an exceptional Olympic Games?
