The Rules for Bedroom Golf.
Bedroom Golf - From the TV Series "Silk Stalkings"
Golf was frequently used as a methaphore for sex in the two first seasons,
and somebody came up with the rules
for Indoors Golf. Its a bit silly, but rule #13 is really funny.
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.
4. For most effective play, the club should
have 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 the game is to take as
many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that 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 currently 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 ensure 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.
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
manicuring and pruning any 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. Slow play is encouraged. However, players
should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least
temporarily, at the course owners request.
15. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.
