Tales and traumas of a 'Teenage Pretty Boy'

1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play. Normally one club and
two balls.
2. Play on the course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object of the game is to get the club in the hole
and keep balls out of the hole.
4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are
permitted to check for stiffness . before play.
5. The object of the game is to make as many strokes as necessary until the
course owner is satisfied that play is complete. Failure to do so may result in
being denied to play the course again.
6. Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club to avoid
damage to the hole.
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 in the
past to the present course owner. Upset course owners have been known to damage players 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 is considered 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 find alternative 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 course owner request.
14. It is considered 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.
16. Players are advised to think twice before considering membership at a given
course. Additional assessments may be levied by the course owner and the rules
subject to change. For this reason, many players prefer to continue to play
several different courses.
