Temporary Golf rules in 1940 Britain
1940 Britain: Richmond Golf Club Temporary Rules
1. Players are asked to collect Bomb and Shrapnel splinters to prevent these causing damage to Mowing Machines. 2. In Competitions, during gunfire or while bombs are falling players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play. 3. The positions of known delayed action bombs are marked by red flags at a reasonably, but not guaranteed, safe distance therefrom. 4. Shrapnel and or bmb splinters on the Fairways, or in Bunkers within a club's length of a ball, maybe moved without penalty, and no penalty shall be incurred if a ball is thereby caused to move accidentally. 5. A ball moved by enemy action maybe replaced, or if lost or destroyed, a ball maybe dropped not nearer the hole without penalty. 6. A ball lying in a crater maybe lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line yo the hole, without penalty. 7. A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous of a bomb may play another ball from the same place. Penalty one stroke. I edited this list because when I transcribed it from the written document (a real estate sales brochure from England) I fupped-duck. Last edited by Botnst; 04-13-2012 at 05:48 PM.

A bomb may fall, shrapnel may kill, even lawnmowers may suffer but nothing will interrupt an Englishman's sacred game. Almost as if writing these rules was an attempt to minimise the effect of the war, or at least politely ignore it.

Were there provisions for wiping one's arse after a bomb taking out the 9th green?

These rules should still be in force. Especially on urban courses.

I don't normally post youtube links as they are usually a lame type of post, but this Robin Williams on golf is just wonderful and pretty short.

I have a question is it sporting to take a break from play to have a go at Jerry if he is over head?
