The Rules of Bedroom Golf

The Rules Of 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 objective 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 play is complete. Failure to do so may result in
being denied permission to play course again.

7. It is considered bad form to begin playing hole immediately upon arrival
at the course. Experienced players will normally take time to admire the
entire course, paying special attention to the formed bunkers.

8. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear just in case.

9. Players should assure 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 is
playing when they consider it to be a private course.

10. 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 a player's equipment for this reason.

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 find alternative means of play when this is the case.

12. Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before
attempting to play the back side.

13. Slow play is encouraged; however, players should be prepared to proceed
at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owner' request.

14. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the
same hole several times in one match.

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

16. Players are advised to think twice before considering membership at a
given course. Additional assessments may be levied by course owner and the
rules are subject to change. For this reason, many players prefer continuing
to play several different courses.



17. Once membership is established and accepted, playing other courses is
strictly FORBIDDEN. Any member caught playing another course is subject to
forfeiture of all equipment.
