"The Rules for Bedroom Golf"
1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment
for play --normally one club and two balls.
2. Play on a course must be approved by the
owner of the hole.
3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club
in the hole and keep the balls out of the hole.
4. For most effective play, the club should have
a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to
check shaft stiffness before play begins.
5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict
club length to avoid damage to the hole.
6. The object of the game is to take as many
strokes as necessary until the course owner
is satisfied that the play is complete.
7. It is considered bad form to begin playing
the hole immediately upon arrival at this course.
8. The experienced player will normally take
time to admire the entire course with special
attention to well-formed bunkers.
9. Players are cautioned not to mention other
courses they have played or are currently playing
to the owner of the course being played. Upset
course owners have been known to damage a
player's equipment for this reason.
10. Players are encouraged to bring proper
rain gear for their own protection.
11. Players should assure themselves that their
match has been properly scheduled, particularly
when a new course is being played for the first
time. Previous players have been known to
become irate if they discover someone else
playing on what they consider to be a private
course.
12. Players are advised to obtain the course
owner's permission before attempting to play
the back nine.
13. Slow play is encouraged. However, players
should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace,
at least temporarily at the course owner's request.
14. It is considered outstanding performance,
time permitting, to play the same hole several
times in one match.
15. The course owner will be the sole judge of
who are the best players.
