- Well, for those who want it, here they are. The one, the only, the complete
-
- RULES OF BEDROOM GOLF
-
- 1) Each player shall Furnish his own equipment - 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 the shaft stiffness before play begins.
-
- 5) Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club 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 play the hole immeditly after getting onto
- 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 they have played or
- are currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset
- course owners have been known to damage a player's equipment for this
- reason.
-
- 9) Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
-
- 10) Players should assure themselves that their match has been previously
- 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 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 alternative means
- of play when this is the case.
-
- 12) Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before
- playing the back side.
-
- 13) Slow play is encouraged; however, players should be prepared to proceed
- at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owners's
- request.
-
- 14) It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the
- same hole several times in one match.
-
- 15) The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.
-
- PLAYERS ARE ADVISED TO THINK TWICE BEFORE CONSIDERING MEMBERSHIP AT A
- GIVEN COURSE. ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENTS MAY BE LEVIED BY THE COURSE OWNER
- AND THE RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. FOR THIS
- REASON, MANY PLAYERS PREFER TO CONTINUE TO PLAY SEVERAL DIFFERENT
- COURSES.
-
- Enjoy. ;-)
