The Rules Of Bedroom Golf

1. Each player will furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and two balls.
2. Play on course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club into the hole and keep the balls out.
4. Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to the hole.
5. For more effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.
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 form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time to admire the course with special attention to well formed bunkers.
8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses currently in play to the owner of the course being played, as upset course owners have been known to damage equipment for this reason.
9. 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 get irate if they discover someone else playing on what they consider to be a private course.
10. The course owner is responsible for the manicuring and pruning of any bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing of alignment and approach to the hole.
11. Players should not assume that a course is in play at all times. Some players may be embarrassed if they find the course is temporarily under repair. Players are reminded to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players will find alternative means of play when this is the case.
12. Players should be well advised to obtain the course owners permission before attempting to play the back nine.
13. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace when requested by the owner.
14. It is considered a great performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.
15. The course owner is the sole judge as to whom has been the best player.
16. A four-ball match may be more to the course owners liking, and if so, there are some extra rules to consider.
17. Unlike outdoor golf, the same hole should not be played by two players at the same time. However, it may be more to the approval of the owner if two separate holes are played at the same time.
18. The owner has the right to decide which holes will be played, and by which player at all times, except where the game has been declared an "Open" event.
