- THE RULES OF BEDROOM GOLF
-
- 01. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play - normally one
- club and two balls.
-
- 02. Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
-
- 03. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in and keep the
- balls out of the hole.
-
- 04. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course
- owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.
-
- 05. Course owners reserve the right to to restrict club length to avoid
- damage to the hole.
-
- 06. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until
- the course owner declares that the play is complete. Failure to do
- so may result in being denied permission to play the course again.
-
- 07. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon
- arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take the
- time to admire the entire course with special attention to the well
- formed bunkers.
-
- 08. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played
- or are currently playing, to the owner of the course being played.
- Upset course owners have been known to damage players equipment for
- this reason.
-
- 09. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for their own
- protection.
-
- 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 on 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
- alternative means of play when this is the case.
-
- 12. The course owner is responsible for the manicuring and pruning of
- the bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing of, alignment
- with and approach to the hole.
-
- 13. Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission before
- attempting to play the back nine.
-
- 14. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play
- the hole several times in one match.
