War Hazards

To remind their members that golf is still being played in the ancient and honorable island of its birth, many a U.S. golf club last week posted wartime rules which govern play on British links. Samples:

P:In competitions, during gunfire or while bombs are falling, players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play.

P:The positions of known delayed-action bombs are marked by red flags placed at a reasonably, but not guaranteed, safe distance therefrom.

P:A ball moved by enemy action may be replaced, or if lost or destroyed, ball may be dropped not nearer the hole without penalty.

P:A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball from the same place.

Penalty one stroke.
