VBCW RULES OF GOLF

In one of those occasional episodes of slippage across the time vortex, Hereford1938 presents the Richmond Gold Club's "Temporary Wartime Rules" from 1940, compiled at the height of the "Battle of Britain":


The Richmond Golf Club must have learned a great deal from Hereford 1938's own Charity Golf Challenge (Spring 2017 Big Game), and the similar additional rules introduced during the VBCW:


where, it might be remembered, Terrain Tsar Roo claimed victory at the 19th hole:

Sir Alan MacGuffin, Chairman of the Hereford Golf Club, supported by
his Committee, prepares to present the County Cup to Terrain Tsar Roo. Since
this presentation, Sir Alan has had his (privately financed) "armoured behemoth"
blown up beneath him, been captured by the Presteigne Communists, escaped
and fled to the Independent Republic of Bromyard, befriended "General" George
 S. Patton, and is now in command of the Bromyard Armoured Brigade. What a guy!

Unfortunately, it appears that the Hereford Golf Course has yet to recover from the damage visited upon it during the County Cup Challenge:
