Rules for Bedroom Golf

1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, 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 is to get the club in the hole and keep
the balls out of the hole.


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


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


6. The object of this game is to take as many strokes as necessary until
the course owner is satisfied that the 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 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 to well-formed bunkers.


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


9. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for their own protection.


10. Players should assure themselves that their match has been 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.
