The rules of bedroom golf<br />Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and two<br />balls.<br />Play on course must be approved by the owner of the hole.<br />Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out.<br />For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are<br />permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins. Course owners reserve<br />the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to the hole.<br />Object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the owner is<br />satisfied play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied<br />permission to play again.<br />It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival.<br />Experienced players will normally take time to admire the entire course,<br />paying special attention to well formed mounds and bunkers.<br />Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played or are<br />currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset owners have<br />been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.<br />Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear, just in case.<br />Players should not assume that the course is in shape to play at all times. Players<br />may be embarrassed if they find the course temporarily under repair. Players<br />are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players<br />will find alternate means of play when this is the case.<br />Players should assume their match has been properly scheduled particularly when<br />playing a new course for the 1st time. Previous players have been known to<br />become irate if they discover someone else is playing what they considered a<br />private course.<br />The owner of the course is responsible for the pruning of any bushes, which may<br />reduce the visibility of the hole.<br />Players are strongly advised to get the owners permission before attempting to<br />play the backside.<br />Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to proceed at a<br />quicker pace at the owners request.<br />It is considered an outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole<br />several times in one match.
