Golf in the Bedroom

Rules of Play

Each player shall provide his own equipment - normally one club and
two balls.

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

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

For the most effective play, the club owner should have a firm shaft.

Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.

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

The object of the 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 denied permission to play the course again.

It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course.

The experienced players will normally take time to admire the entire course, with special attention to well formed bunkers.

Players are encouraged not to mention other courses they have played, or are currently playing, to the owner of the course being played.

Upset owners have been known to damage a player's equipment for this reason.

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

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 considered to be a private course.

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 alternate means of play at this time.

Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before attempting to play the back nine.

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

It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same course several times in one month.
