With the coronavirus lockdown in full swing three Ipswich brothers have cured their boredom by creating their own crazy golf course in their back garden.
Golf-lovers Reece aged 11, Joshua, 8, and Finley 4, have built their very own extra long crazy golf hole, with a little help from their dad who is a plumber.
Mum Michelle Smythe, a Senior Campaign Engineer at Archant, said her boys have been missing out on playing golf due to the coronavirus pandemic and needed to find an alternative to keep them busy.

“We also all love playing crazy golf together as a family as it’s great fun.”
Josh and Finley usually have golf lessons at Rushmere Golf Club on a Saturday and regularly play the sport.
But due to the current circumstances they are unable to go along to a golf course, so instead the boys decided to bring the golf course to their home.

Michelle says the crazy golf course has kept them occupied for hours – meaning she has been able to get some work done.
She said: “They had lots of fun playing it and Reece also enjoyed trying to film it.”
