A 22 year-old British man by the name of John Mcarthur is the owner of the first golf course on wheels. This young man was never a huge golf fanatic but after coming across the Skoda Felicia on eBay, he knew that it was the car for him.
At first glance, his friends thought he was crazy for purchasing such an ugly and unnecessary automobile but then they grew to love to grass-covered machine for which he only payed £347.
John MCarthur's one-of-a-kind car features a hole and flag on the roof, a sand bunker on the hood and various tee-off points on the hood and roof. If he feels like teeing off, he just has to find an open and field and then he's off!
