I had heard of that but never seen it - terrific, and very typical of golf. Doesn't say that women are allowed to play during an air-raid.

Women! On a golf course in 1940?!! Don't be silly.

What they don't seem to have addressed is; what would be the rule if your ball was within putting distance from the hole, and a bomb raid had invoked rule 2. When you returned to play, and there was a bomb crater where the hole had previously been, and your ball was in the crater. What would be your score for the hole?

Outside interference. Replace the ball as near as possible to where it was without penalty. Wait for the greenkeeper to make another hole.

all seems reasonable and fair except the last one.

That's easily the best thing I've read all day. "IF YOU GET BLOWN UP BY A BOMB. ONE PENALTY STROKE OLD CHAP." Fantastic stuff.

You can take the provenance up with these chaps, as it's where it came from, a great twitter feed.

I have an image of a golfer on a Par 3 placing his ball on the tee, then running for cover as a bomb takes out the spot where he was standing, sending the ball high into the air, landing on the green and trickling into the cup. Would this be a Hole In None?

At least it makes the game more interesting

Punitive in my book, thta's why I love the game. Rules honed over the last two centuries and a game which by parge self polices. Fabulous.
A guy I used to play with here in Glasgow, sadly long dead, used to play at 11pm in the Summer when they had double summer time, so he could get out of Clydebank , avoid the bombers and play some late evening golf. It must have been a real site to behold.
