> The Rules of Bedroom Golf
>
> 1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play.
>
> 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 completed. 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 tall
> 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.
>
> 15. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play
> the same hole several times in one match.
