Aint Golf Grand?
You have to hand it to the Brits when it comes to golf. 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 protectthem. 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.
No wonder Hilter couldn’t defeat the British.
A bit rough getting a penalty shot when your shot is affected by the explosion of a bomb! Sure makes a double bogey seem less important.
Yeah you have to be tough don’t you?
Thank you for the fun and interesting post, Judy. I learned a couple of new things from it.

Hi Russ, so glad you liked that one. They breed them tough don’t they or they use to anyway.
All for the love of golf, eh? Now who dare says golf is just an easy game?
Not me! I have been trying to learn and it’s really hard. The spouse is a good golfer so he doesn’t understand why I can’t pick it up easily. I do enjoy it though. Maybe one day I will be allowed to go out on an actual golf course
Love it! I’ll have to show my golfing Dad this one. We often joke about golfers going out in any weather but this is real dedication
Yes the spouse is a great golfer and he will go out in all sorts of weather. Personally I think they are mad but different courses for different horses.
Another fun and fascinating post from you Judy! Hardly a post goes by that I don’t wish to reblog or email to someone. Amazing.
Thank you for your lovely comment. You make my blog fun to do. I told the spouse about your lady and the horse and he thought it was great. He got a good laugh out of that one.
This is so funny. No wonder i can’t do golf. I thought it was because I didn’t have the patience. Obviously it’s because I don’t have the guts. I’m sending a link for this to my golf friends. Thanks.
I am so glad you liked this post. I can’t do golf either. I am having lessons but not much happening. Maybe the bombs and shrapnel would be an incentive
My spouse is a good golfer and has been doing it since he was a young kid and he can’t understand why I can’t pick it up quickly.
