BEDROOM GOLF
1. The player will furnish his own equipment for play, normally
one club and two balls.
2. Owner of the course must approve equipment before play may
begin.
3. Unlike regular golf, the object of the game is to get the club
into the hole, while keeping the balls out.
4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft.
The course owner may check the stiffness of the shaft before
allowing play to commence.
5. Course owner reserves the right to restrict the shaft length,
so as to avoid damage to the course.
6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as possible,
until the course owner is satisfied. Failure to do so may
result in being denied permission to play the course again.
7. Players are cautioned to play the correct hole, as indicated by
the course owner.
8. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately
upon arrival at the course. Experienced players will admire the
course, paying special attention to the well formed bunkers.
9. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have
played recently to the owner of the course presently being
played.
10. If the course to be played is temporarily under repair, player
is advised to find alternate means of play.
11. It is considered outstanding form to play the hole several times
in one match.
12. Course owners shall be the judge of who is the best player.
13. It is considered bad form to reveal your score to other players,
or even that you have played the course.
14. Players are encouraged to have the proper rain gear along,
just in case.
15. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared
to play at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the
course owner's request.
16. Players are advised to think twice before considering
membership at a given course. Additional assesments may be
levied by the course owner, and the rules are subject to
change. For this reason, many players prefer to continue to
play several different courses.
