Rules for Playing Bedroom Golf:
************ ********* *********
1. The player will furnish his own equipment for play, normally one
club, and two balls.
2. Owner of the course must approve equipment before play may
begin.
3. Unlike regular golf, the object of the game is to get the club
into the hole, while keeping the balls out.
4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. The
course owner may check the stiffness of the shaft before allowing
play to commence.
5. Course owner reserves the right to restrict the shaft length, so
as to avoid damage to the course.
6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as possible,
until the course owner is satisfied.
7. Players are cautioned to play the correct hole, as indicated by
the course owner.
8. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately
upon arriving at the course. Experienced players will admire the
course, paying special attention to the well formed bunkers.
9. 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.
10. 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. Most advanced players find alternate means of play
when this is the case.
11. It is considered outstanding form to play the hole several times
in one match.
12. Course owners shall be the judge of who is the best player.
13. It is considered bad form to reveal your score to other players,
or even that you have played the course.
14. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for their own
protection.
15. 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.
16. Players are advised to obtain course owner's permission before
attempting to play the back nine.
17. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to
proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the owners
request.
