The Rules of 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 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 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, paying 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 assure themselves that their match has been properly
scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played for the
first time. Some 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 alternate means of
play when this is the case.
12. The course owner is responsible for manicuring and pruning of bush
around the hole to permit improved viewing of, alignment with and
approach to the hole.
13. Players are advised to obtain the course owner's 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 the course owner's request.
15. It is considered outstanding performance (time permitting) to play
the same hole several times in one match.
16. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.
