Bedroom Golf
1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally
one club and two balls.
2. Course played on 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 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 the play is complete. Failure
to do so may result in being denied permission to play 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 well
formed bunkers.
8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have
played on 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 on
for the first time. Previous players have been known to become irate
if they discover someone else 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 to be
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 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 owners
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.
Players are advised to think twice before considering membership at a
golf course. Additional assessments may be levied by the course owner
and the rules are subject to change at any time. For this reason, many
players prefer to continue playing on several different courses.
