Rules For Bedroom Golf
********************
1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one
club
and two balls. Can be varied at course owners discression.
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 the shaft for firmness before play begins.
5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club
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 play is complete. Failure to do so may
result
in being denied permission to play on the course again.
7. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon
arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time
to
admire the entire course with special attention to the well formed
bunkers.
8. 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.
9. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
10. 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 is playing what they consider to be a private course.
11. Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all
times.
Some players may be embarrassed if they find the course is temporarily
under
repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation.
More
advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the
case.
12. Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission before
attempting to play the back nine.
13. Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to
proceed
at 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 is the best player.
*HINT- Players are advised to think twice before considering membership
at a
given course. Additional assessments may be levied by the owner and the
rules are subject to change. For this reason, many players prefer to
continue to play several different courses.
