Andy Murray has hinted he's enjoying golf following his recent retirement.
The 37-year-old played his last match as a professional tennis player at the start of the month, with Murray and Dan Evans losing in the quarter-finals of the doubles at the Paris Olympics.
It meant the three-time Grand Slam winner was denied a fairytale ending to his career, having established himself as one of the greats of the modern era.
Murray has kept his cards close to his chest when it comes to what he'll do next.

"One thing I like about football is they disagree.”
