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 untill
     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 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. Previous players have been 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 times. Some players may be embarassed if they find the
     course to be temporarily under repair. Players are advised to be
     extremely tactfull in this situation. More advanced players will
     find alternate means of play when this is the case.

 12) Players are advised to obtain course owner's permission before
     attempting to play on 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
     owners request.

 14) It is considered outstanding performance, time permiting, 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.
