| 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.
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 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 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 players equipment for this reason.
9. Players are encouraged
to bring proper rain gear for their own protection.
10. 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 become irate if they discover someone else playing on what they considered
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. The course owner is responsible for manicuring
and pruning any bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing of, alignment
with, and approach to the hole.
13. Players are advised to obtain the
course owners 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 least temporarily, at the course owners request (Course time is Four
to Five Hours).
15. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting,
to play the same hole several times in one match. |
