A teenager thinks his town's roads are so below par he decided to make a point - by using potholes to make a crazy golf course.
Ben Thornbury, 18, swung into action after reading about locals' fore-strations on Facebook.
The student mocked up a sign and opened the course in the middle of market town Malmesbury, Wilts., last Friday (7/4)
He says more than 20 residents turned up to have a go - and he hopes it will force the authorities to take action.
Ben said: "I'm really proud it was my idea.
