He's taken a flamethrower to the backyard, cleaned all his golf clubs and ordered a hitting net to get his golf fix.

Thankfully that arrived on Thursday - before Jordan Rapana's two-week self-isolation was up.
The golf-mad ex-Canberra Raider and his wife Kelsey arrived back in Canberra last Tuesday, following the closure of Japan's Top League.
He was over there playing rugby union for the Panasonic Wild Knights until it was shutdown due to the coronavirus.
The 30-year-old's unsure what the future holds for him.
He's still contracted to the Panasonic Wild Knights and was meant to go back to Japan unless that gets cancelled as well.
The New Zealand international winger has been linked with a return to the Green Machine. But that wasn't why he was back in the ACT.
He simply wanted to spend time at home during these uncertain times.
So he's had some weights dropped off and has been tuning into his sister's online gym classes every night at 5pm.
"The way things are at the minute it's crazy times. If I knew the future I'd tell you, but I'm just taking each day as it comes," Rapana said.
"I can't tell you what I'm going to be doing. For now I'm still contracted at Panasonic Wild Knights and I've got a job to do there until my time's up there.
"I'm just going with the flow. Me coming back to Canberra doesn't mean I was coming back to sign with the Raiders, it was more just coming back to be home during this time of uncertainty."
MORE CANBERRA SPORT
He was looking forward to getting out of the house on Tuesday - five days left when he spoke to The Canberra Times. And yes he was counting.
Obviously the golf course will be his first point of call. Although knowing his luck, they'll be closed again by the time he's free.
They've already been shut once while he's been in isolation - although a government backflip has allowed them to re-open for business.
Now they need to stay open until at least Tuesday.
"It's just one those things. Obviously you've got to abide by the rules so if [golf is] on I'll be stoked," Rapana said.
"If not, I'll have to use that driving-range net that I've got. How much I love my golf, it's more the social thing, it's more I get to catch up with the boys and have a bit of banter.
"It'll be a bit disappointing if it's all closed down by the time I get out. Knowing my luck the country will probably be in lockdown by the time I get out so I'll be stuck inside a lot longer than two weeks."
The second point of business will be getting some work.
He joked his "backyard bonanza" had him well placed to become a landscaper, but he's also got a mate in demolition who has a job waiting for him.
Rapana would also jump at the chance to pull on the lime green jersey again when his time with the Wild Knights comes to an end.
He's got unfinished business with the Green Machine after making last year's grand final.
"We obviously missed out on that premiership last year and that's still a main goal of mine," Rapana said.
"I know that they've got the squad here to do it too. I definitely want to be a part of it, but with what's going on that's out of my hands.
"I'm just going to have to find a job in the meantime and let the rest take care of itself."
Rapana loved his time in Japan - although he's been left ruing his rugby union luck, with injuries ruining his first stint - back before he signed with the Raiders in 2013.
He played all the trial games for Panasonic, but restrictions on the number of foreigners meant he didn't play a Top League game.
That was set to change with the coach telling him he was picking him only for the league to go into lockdown.
The Wild Knights were flying and sitting on top of the ladder when that happened.
He said there was a great group of foreigners there, including his neighbour and ex-Brumby David Pocock.
Pocock's also back in Canberra self-isolating and Rapana was looking forward to catching up once they were both out - maybe to get some tips for his garden.
"That made it a bit more like home. There was a mix of Kiwis and Australians and some South Africans," Rapana said.
"We all live pretty much in the same complex so we got to hang out and made our time more enjoyable.
"Dave was there with us. He's a really good bloke and he was pretty much my nextdoor neighbour.
"I'll have to get him over when isolation's up, get him to help me out."
