Rules of Bedroom Golf

1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment, normally
one club and two balls.

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

3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object of the game is to keep
the balls out of the hole, and get the club in the
hole.

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

5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict the club
length, to avoid damage to the hole.

6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as
possible, until the course owner is satisfied that 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 start playing the hole
immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced
player will automatically take time to admire the
entire course, with special attention to well-formed
mounds and bunkers.

8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they
have played, or are currently playing.

9. 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 alternative means of
play when this is the case.

10. The course owner is responsible for the manicuring and
pruning of all bush around the hole, to allow for
improved viewing of alignment and approach to the hole.
A particularly light touch is needed when just off the
green.

11. Players are advised to obtain the course owners
permission before attempting to play the back nine.

12. Slow play is encouraged. However players should be
prepared to proceed at a quicker pace at least
temporarily at the course owner's request.

13. It is considered outstanding performance, time
permitting, to play the same hole several times in one
match.

14. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the
best player.
