Unashamedly stolen from twitter.....

Richmond GC temp rules during the war.........

My course has been closed for 3 days due to heavy showers...........makes you think!

I particulary like the "may replay a stroke if affected by simulataneous explosion" but you still have to add a penalty stroke!

Thought the same lol tight sods!

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Numbers 5 and 7 are quality!

 

[Swinger]

Nice find that! Good little read.

5 is brilliant, images of an enemy soldier running on to the green and kicking the ball away... Its ok, I can replace it for free

Ive played at Tain when the RAF have been bombing the range at Tarbertness, but bombs going off on the course is a whole different kettle of fish.

 

[CMAC]

my first GC had bomb craters (it was near Clydebank ship yards which was blasted constantly during the war), they were pretty deep with thick grass and very hard to escape from

 

[daymond]

We have a huge bomb hole crater 50 yards in front of the tee on a par five hole. You would think it well out of play. Think again!!

1----- just screams lazy green keepers!

I think number 2 is particularly sporting of them.

I was thinking the same. Some Jerry bomber straffing you at the top of your back swing. Monty would have had a fit

 

[Foxholer]

I strongly suspect that these were just an amusing creation for propaganda!

Another version of them appears dated 1941 on antique-ised paper but 'fancy' Times font.

Gives 'bombing your driver' a whole new dimension!

 

[Sir Scoop-A-Lot]

This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

Lol - Brilliant find.

I remember a good few years ago a load of kids were dredging one of the ponds in Bootle GC. They used an old shopping basket tied with rope, flung it in the water and dragged it out. They would often get plenty of balls out of the lake and sell them on. Well, one day they got more than they bargained for and pulled out out a live WWII bomb that had been dropped there years earlier! Course was closed off and the bomb disposal team called in. I wasn't on the course at the time but I am sure it would've been a sight to see!

I rather liked no 3, a reasonably, but not guaranteed, safe position.
