Now these are tough local rules! From 1940


British Golf Rules in 1940
And, you thought you were a tough weather golfer.
This notice posted in war-torn Britain in 1940 for golfers 

with stiff upper lips. 
You have to admit --- these guys really had guts!
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.
