queer golf
Each player shall furnish his own equipment - normally one club and two balls.
Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
Unlike regular golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out of the hole.
For most effective play, the club should have a stiff shaft. Course owners are permitted to check the club shaft before play begins.
Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length in order to prevent damage to the hole.
The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course again.
It is considered bad etiquette to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take the time to admire the course layout paying special attention to the well formed bunkers.
Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they may have played or are currently playing. Upset course owners have been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.
Players are to bring proper rain gear for their own protection.
Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times.
Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission before attempting to play the back nine.
Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owners request.
It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.
Remember it is not the size of the club, but the skill of the golfer that determines the pleasure of the game.
