It is ground rules nothing to do with the club - there are many rules that form condition of us having a license.

If a person turns up with a golf umbrella then in isolation we can issue a ticket and hold it for them until they reclaim it after the game. There is no way it could be done for hundreds - no matter what the reason

I can also imagine the problems that would occur when the majority of the crowd, who don't do social media, find an umbrella blocking their view of the match.

I remember brollies on the Holte mid 70's and they were being wielded by ferocious bovver birds! One was from Blackheath as I recall?

Just makes me wonder why the searches have now stopped and why a 8 year old with a bottle top in more dangerous than a thermos flask...

Cocktail umbrellas are, in my experience, far more dangerous than regulation umbrellas.

No way.  You could have someone's eye out with one of those things.
