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.
