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. |
