Rules for Bedroom Golf


     1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play. Normally 
one club and two (2)balls.

     2. Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the holes.

     3. Owner of the course must approve the equipment before may 
begin.

     4. For most effective play, the club must have a firm shaft. 
Course owners are permitted to check the shaft stiffness before play begins.

     5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict the shaft length 
to avoid any damage to the course.

     6. Unlike outdoor golf, the goal is to get the club into the 
hole, while keeping the balls out.

     7. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as deemed 
necessary until the course owner is satisfied that play is complete. Failure to do so may 
result in being denied permission to play the course in the future.

     8. 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 being given to the well formed bunkers.

     9. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they may 
have played or currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset course 
owners have been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.

     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 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. Players are encouraged to 
have proper rain gear along, just in 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 a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the request of the course 
owner.

     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 as to who is the best 
player.

     16. Players are advised to think twice before considering 
membership at a given course. Additional assessments 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.
