The course is in Newton Square, Pennsylvania – 15 miles west of Philadelphia.

And one local resident has secured themselves arguably the best seat in the house – or the garden – without having a ticket.

Golf writer Dylan Dethier shared a brilliant video on social media during Wednesday’s practice round.

Behind the blue netted fencing to mark the perimeter of the course, a group of young men stood on the DIY platform.

The five lads appeared to be enjoying some drinks on their homemade set-up.

The stage – seemingly a scaffold structure – standing high over the height of the fence.

That gave them the perfect view to watch the players on the 14th tee off.

And literally just a few yards away, they were well within speaking range of the players and caddies.

Dethier wrote: “Behind Aronimink’s 14th tee someone has built an enormous platform in their backyard.

“Incredible to place to watch the .

“Also unlocks an entirely new level of golf bro.”

The video quickly went viral and prompted plenty of replies from fans in awe – but others were worried it may get taken down.

One said: “Looks like a Happy Gilmore structure.”

Another wrote: “Sell me a ticket to that platform.”

A third added: “New best seat in .”

And a final user commented: “They showed their cards too soon… the tarp will be raised by Friday.”

The the pals with their drives as they battle it out for major glory.
