Astonishing but True Golf Fact

The plucky Brits didn’t let anything as tiresome as the Battle of Britain keep them off the links. They simply modified the rules. At St. Mellons Golf and Country Club, players were asked to collect bomb and shell splinters from the fairways to prevent damage to mowers. Players also noted carefully, at risk of great personal harm, the red flags marking the position of delayed-action bombs in the rough.

NOVEMBER BIRTHDAYS!

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!
