Bedroom Golf
This game is a perfect alternative to pocket billiards. Contrary to other ball games, you must play the course and not the balls. In order to score, you have to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out. For most effective play, the club should have a rigid shaft, optionally rubber-coated for extra protection. Whereas the most sought after achievement in normal golf is to get a hole in one, the aim here is to get one in the hole.
The game strategy is to take as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that play is completed. Failing to do so, may result in being denied permission to play the course again. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. It is advisable to take time to explore the entire course with special attention to well-formed bunkers. Experienced bunker players do well in this game.
The course owner is responsible for pruning any weeds around the hole to allow for improved viewing and approach to the hole. Slow play is encouraged, but players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at the course owner's request.
Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played before. Angry course owners have been known to damage players' equipment for this reason. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for their own protection and should bear in mind that courses may sometimes be temporary closed due to periodic maintenance, in which case the handyman, Master Bates could be called on to solve the problem manually.
It is a delightful game if you can keep to the rules, though the green fees will escalate dramatically if you take a permanent lease on the golf course. Special care has to be taken when playing several courses at the same time; it can have a negative impact on your life expectancy.
Have a great day and try not to play all day.

Have a great day!
No, just Catfoot, with a small 'f'.
But the fella you're referring to, plays nine holes before lunch and that long club that he's using can damage the course when used discretionary.
Well, the fairway and the green must be kept clear of undergrowth.
You should have written this blog years ago.
That is the problem when you are used to playing nine holes before lunch and another nine after lunch. It is then difficult to adapt to courses sporting less holes. Nine different holes have more variety than when playing the same hole nine times. Variety is the spice of life.
Sounds like a good game.
Yes, certainly better than pocket billiards.
Hi Catfoot
A wake device is a modern gadget that replaced the old-fashioned alarm clock.
Never knew him personally but came for this service nonetheless. Makes me appreciate life more...makes me wanna play more bedroom golf!
Play is not restricted to the bedroom. A thick rug in front of a fire is also an ideal placement while falling cinders can put new fire in a dull game that was petering out to a goalless draw.
Can really 'cook up a storm' there, huh?
Yummy dessert at the end of the meal?
I have followed my own advice and did not play all day. But I thought about it all day.
A kitchen is only a kitchen if there is a table it it but I have no table in my kitchen. My dining room table has a glass top which makes play a risky adventure. But who knows what heights can be achieved by an adrenaline surge.
Gotta go, need to give the grieving family my condolences! Byeeeeeee!
Yes, playing amongst the weed is a definite step up from smoking it. Since the implementation of cell phones, the is no more need to send smoke signals to inform the clubhouse of the latest score.
What happen?!!!? Are you okay?!...
Nothing much. I had nothing to do while waiting for the doctor so I thought it well to formulate the rules of an very old game. Only the receptionist had a worthwhile course but she was busy with other tasks so we could not test the rules. Did I skip anything?
It is all for the love of the game, no hidden agendas or ulterior motives.
Who Knows?! Only you know that dear! Did you miss something?!....
Really! How So?....
Regrettably I cannot prescribe to the individual course owners. They have sole jurisdiction over whiles holes are included as part of the course. You will have to negotiate that with the course owner.
Very true. Players should look after their clubs and keep it clean.
It is a common phenomena for previous players to resent it when a particular course is no longer available to them and becomes available to another player an is known to infiltrate the play posing as a spectator.
Are you saying to me?!
Yes, but I'm sure most players will be delighted to help with the maintenance of the course.
Nothing in particular. I just remembered another rule. And from your previous comment I deducted that you did not understand what I was trying to say and then I tried to put it in other words.
Really?
I read it again but I cannot detect any duality or hidden messages in it. Of course, English is a second language to me and does not come naturally. The syntax and choice of words I employ may create the impression of some hidden agenda. Did you notice the same with the others commenting on my blog, or is it only the case with my own comments?
But while you are here, I have not seen you before. Welcome to my humble blog.
You like it! I love it for you...
