THE RULES OF BEDROOM GOLF Each player will furnish his own equipment of play... normally one club and two balls. Play on a course must be approved by the owner of "the" hole. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out of the hole. For most effective play the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins. Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to the hole. 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. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at this course. The experienced player will normally take time to admire the entire course, with special attention to well formed bunkers. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played, or are currently playing, to the owner of the course being played. Angry course owners have been known to damage the equipment of the player for this reason. Players are encouraged to bring proper "wet weather" gear for their own protection. 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 playing on what they consider to be a private course. 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 when confronted with this situation. More advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the case. Players are advised to seek the owners permission before playing the back nine. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the request of the course owner. It is considered an outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in succession. The course owner will be the judge of who is the best player.
