Temporary Golf Rules

Circa 1941

by Richmond Golf Club (London)



(adopted in 1941 by the Richmond Golf Club, London, England) as reported to us by Brian Train and by your Editor, who views these for rules for 2 yard scale gaming, and who has played miniature golf.

1. Players are asked to collect bomb and shrapnel splinters to save as these are causing damage to the mowing machines.

2. In competitions, during gunfire or whilst bombs are falling, players may take shelter without penalty of ceasing play.

3. The positions of known delayed action bombs are marked by red flags at a reasonable, but not guaranteed safe distance therefrom.

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

5. A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball. Penalty one stroke.
