David Beckham GOOD DAD The soccer star says, “I used to play [golf], quite a few years ago, but to be honest, I’d rather spend 4 hours with the kids than 4 hours on a golf course.

My way of relaxing is listening to music and spending time with the kids.” For more pics of the Beckhams, go to x17online.com.![Billy Ray Cyrus]()
