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 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 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 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, paying 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 assure themselves that their match has been properly 
     scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played for the 
     first time.  Some 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 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.

12.  The course owner is responsible for manicuring and pruning of bush 
     around the hole to permit improved viewing of, alignment with and 
     approach to the hole.

13.  Players are advised to obtain the course owner's 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 the course owner's request.

15.  It is considered outstanding performance (time permitting) to play 
     the same hole several times in one match.

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