A Devonport resident who wanted to bust his boredom during the lockdown has made a DIY golf course in front of his house.
Landscaper Luke Hancock, who has played golf regularly for over 15 years, told the Herald he made the course on day one of the lockdown to improvehis chipping game while not being able to visit an actual golf course.
Chipping is a technique golfer's use to get the ball closer to the green.

Using his landscaping skills, he mowed a shape in the ground, cut the lawn inside it lower than the rest of the grass, put sand on it to make it slightly flatter, used plant pots as the holes and some bamboo sticks as the flags.
