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.
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 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 players equipment for this reason.
9. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for
their own protection.
10. Players should ensure 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
playing on what they 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 be extremely tactful in this situation. More
advanced players will find alternative means of play when
this is the case.
12. The course owner is responsible for manicuring and
pruning any bush around the hole to allow for improved viewing
of, alignment with, and approach to the hole.
13. Players are advised to obtain the course owners permission
before attempting to play the back nine.
14. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be
prepared to proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily,
at the course owners request (Course time is Four to Five
Hours).
15. It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting,
to play the same hole several times in one match.
