"Good Morning, E'Lane...'morning All!!
Finished catching up, and after reading all the golf stories yesterday I thought a few might enjoy a little golf humor on this bright and sunny DGIV Saturday morning, especially if they are considering playing a round today...
Rules For Bedroom Golf
1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and two
balls.
2. Play on 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 the shaft for firmness 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 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 on 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 the 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 is 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 embarrassed if they find the course is 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. Players are advised to obtain the course owners 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 owner's request.
14. It is considered an 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.
**HINT: Players are advised to think twice before considering membership at a given
course. Additional assessments may be levied by the owner and the rules are subject
to change. For this reason, many players prefer to continue to play several different courses.
"Have a great weekend everyone!!"
