My favorite hazard is the one I create for others. Divits flying all over the place as I drunkenly hack at my ball on the fairway.

Favorite hazard: The dreaded female butt crack on the greens. If that doesn't mess up your putter nothing will.

I like the sand bunkers, because unlike the rest of my game, I have an uncanny knack to always make the perfect chip out of the bunkers.

Here sure was a different kind of hazard!!!
Golf In The UK (1940)
This is good......
British Golf Rules in 1940 And, you thought you were a tough weather golfer. The notice below was posted adjusting rules at a golf club in Britain in 1940. You have to admit --- these guys really had to like the game to play!
German aircraft from Norway would fly on missions to attack northern England .. Because of the icy weather conditions, the barrels of their guns had a small dab of wax in the muzzle to protect them from clogging with ice. In addition to attacking industrial or other targets close to golf courses, 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.
This is purely wonderful -- and says more than anything else I have ever seen about why Hitler lost the Battle of Britain!

Sinkhole.....
LOOK: This sinkhole will make you never want to play golf again
That is not good.. (Facebook)
According to this Facebook post, Top of the Rock Golf Course in Hollister, Missouri is falling into the abyss. Literally.
The post says that the sink hole is 100 feet deep and 100 yards long. Good if you're trying to putt into it. Bad if you're trying to play through it.

Massive sinkhole opens up in the middle of a golf course
An updated visual on the sink hole that opened up earlier today at Big Cedar Lodge's Top of the Rock in Hollister, MO. Host of Bass Pro Shop's Legends of Golf, the course and the range are still open, according to a course spokesperson. The hole consumed a portion of the range, which was designed by Arnold Palmer. I was told, given the topography, sink holes in the Ozarks are not uncommon. Referred to as a "geological event," no one was hurt and experts are on site assessing the situation. (Pic courtesy of @newsleadersports)
This course hosts the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf on the Champions Tour every year, so they're probably already hard at work figuring out how to fix this.

Why would that make anyone now want to play golf again?
Given the amount of rain they've had in that area recently, sink holes are bound to happen....
