Bedroom Golf

Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one  
club and two balls.
Course played on 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 the length of the club 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 the 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 on  
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.
Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
Players should assure themselves that their match has been properly  
scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played on 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.
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 alternate means of  
play when this is the case.
Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before  
attempting to play the back nine.
Slow play is encouraged; however, players should be prepared to  
proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owners  
request.
It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the  
same hole several times in one match.
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  
golf course. Additional assessments may be levied by the course owner  
and the rules are subject to change at any time. For this reason, many  
players prefer to continue playing on several different courses.
