Mmmm, a minature golf course, mmmm a back garden, mmmm a house. Some people should be grateful for what they have. Moan, moan, moan that's all we ever hear.
THERE are few golfers who can boast the use of a miniature course in their own back garden.
Businessman John Conner struck upon the idea of creating a one-hole garden golf course at his home in Currie in a bid to fine tune his game.
But it was his decision to put up a six-foot tall boundary fence along the side of the approximately 60-yard hole which proved the final straw for angry neighbours.
They claim that golf balls repeatedly end up in their back gardens and that one even narrowly missed a young child out playing and landed in the toddler's pushchair.
And they are furious that the towering fence has been built on top of an embankment next to the adjacent Water of Leith walkway, which they claim is public land. Neighbours say the fence also obscures their views of the picturesque waterway.
Now the city council has launched an investigation and Mr Conner faces having to tear down the fencing, which is around 50 metres long and six feet high above the course.
