"Hope the corona has disappeared"

But now he has put the studs on the shelf.

Because they are not allowed on the footgolf courses where he now spends a lot of time, and where he aims to be the best.

This week, Nahir won this year's last Sweden competition Skåne open and thus, at the last minute, qualified for the World Cup which is planned to be played in Japan in October 2021.

- We can only hope that the corona has disappeared until then, he says.

SVT Södertälje's reporter followed Nahir Oyal out on a training round and had to test himself on a hole.

See the result in the video above.
