Rules For 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 the shaft
for firmness 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 play is complete.
Failure to do so may result in being denied permission
to play on 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 the 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 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 is 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 is 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. Players are 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 quicker pace,
at least temporarily, at the course owner'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.

*HINT- Players are advised to think twice
before considering membership at a given course.
Additional assessments may be levied by the owner
and the rules are subject to change.
For this reason, many players prefer to continue
to play several different courses.
