The Rules Of Bedroom Golf

[DENVERBULL]

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 be 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 this 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.

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  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 assure themselves that their match has been 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.

11. Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times.

Some players may be embarassed if they find the course to be temporarily

under repair.  Players are advised to find alternative means of play

when this is the case.

12. The course owner is responsible for the manicuring and pruning of any

bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing of, alignment with

and approach to the hole.

13.It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the

same hole several times in one match.

14. Slow  play is encouraged.  However,  players should be prepared to

proceedat a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course

owner's request.

15. The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.

16. Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before

attempting to play the back nine.
