"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, 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.
