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 object is to get the club in the hole and
   keep balls out of the hole.

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 the length of the club
   to avoid damage to the hole.

6. The object of the game is to make 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 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.

9. Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.

10. Players should assure 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 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 be extremely
    careful in this situation.  More advanced players will find
    alternate 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 nine.

13. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to
    proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course
    owner's 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. Payment for membership is dependent upon the given course.
    Additional assessment may be levied by the course owner and the
    rules are subject to change.  For this reason, many players prefer
    to continue to play several different courses.

(13) It is considered bad form to reveal your score to other players,
or even that you have played the course.
