British Golf Notice - 1940

It's not about playing grave digger, it is about having a rule for every possible situation.
Thinking about it ... the Scots and the Germans (flaggerman) ... I wonder, have they common ancestors? ... Must be ...

Yeah, at least the ones who went to Scotland and bought one as a souvenir
I actually know of 2 individuals who have a kilt.

Edit:
And both have beer and internet, though not nescessary in the basement
