The above photo as you can see is our island golf course, however it's appearance has changed a little since the chooks ate all the grass.

However to combat the problem I built another as seen below -

This photo unfortunately shows the golf course in its entirety.  The sand bar - which is now my island golf green, formed after cyclone Rona pushed heavy swells and wind form the North for 2 weeks, resulting in the island changing drastically in  shape & hence my golf driving range.

The tee off at the bottom of the photo was built by nailing some floor boards to a wooden crate and then fixing some carpet on top.

As you can see it is by far and away the most challenging hole on the island!

After loosing the 30 golf balls that I brought out with me on the bottom of the ocean, I made up some floating ones out of the 'rubber bungs' on the left, & with the help of Kim's prezzy & the ever reliable - fix anything 'duck tape', problem solved!   They travel the 120 metres to the green with a six iron at ease.

Once the golf got a bit repetitive, it was time to build a basketball Ring!                                         It's a little beauty" - if I don't mind saying so myself, It took exactly one  week to build, & is made entirely out of wood ie.  no Duck tape!   

Although it is a basketball Ring, due to it's unusual shape it is probably better called a 'Basketball Square' or 'A Toilet with a View!' - however again it does the job, infact it is so strong that you can hang of it, just as 'Air Gilligan' is about to do!
