Richmond Golf Club Temporary Rules, 1940

Belive it or not but the stiffer upper lip English didn't let such distractions as the Battle of Britain hinder their golfrounds, thus these temporary golf rules.

RICHMOND GOLF CLUB
TEMPORARY RULES, 1940

1. Players are asked to collect Bomb and Shrapnel splinters to save these causing damage to the 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 bomb splinters on the Fairways, or in Bunkers within a club’s length of a ball, may be 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 may be replaced, or if lost or destroyed, a ball may be dropped not nearer the hole without penalty.
6. A ball laying in a crater may be lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole, without penalty.
7. A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball from the same place. Penalty one stroke.

Camouflage? We're talkin Britain here mate! A country where they don't allow any other colour than white on the clothes for those who play in the Wimbeldon tournament.
