Musings of Patrick Ryan Lane

thedailywhat: From The Archives: Presumably authentic WW2-era rules for playing through the Richmond (London) country club golf course. A bit of context never hurt: German aircraft from Norway would fly on missions to northern England; because of the icy weather conditions, the barrels of their guns had a small dab of wax to protect them. As they crossed the coast, they would clear their guns by firing a few rounds at the golf courses. Golfers were urged to take cover. [directorblue / boingboing.] I love the penalty for a bomb exploding during your swing.
