Club Rules:

In Uganda the golfers at the Jinga Golf Club are permitted a free drop from himppopotami footprints. They must also yield to elephants.

At a golf club in Rhodesia, the uprising in the 70's caused an amendment to the club rules allowing the replay of a stroke if the player was interrupted by gunfire or an explosion.

The Scots had a name for it.
