Amazing images in my head of a couple of stiff-upper-lipped toffs playing golf during a bombing raid. Like some kind of video game - Tiger Woods: Apocalypse 2014. Taking shots out of very newly created bunkers and taking putts with bombs exploding several hundred yards away.

"What-oh, those damned Jerry's are coming again. I suppose we should stop playing and find some cover, Thomas"

"Oh, just ignore them, Roger. The likelihood of their bombs striking us is very remote. Now watch this swing. FORE!"

Rule No2 is something out of a Black Adder sketch.
