1. Each player must furnish his own equipment for play---minimum of one club and two balls required.
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 into the hole and to keep the balls out of the hole.
4. For the most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check the shaft stiffness 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 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(s) of the course(s) currently being played. Upset course owners have been known to damage a player's equipment for this very 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 iratr if they discover someone else playing what they consider a private cousre.
11. Players should not assume a cousre is in shape for play at all times. some players are embarrased if they find the course temporarily under repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advances players will find alternative means of play when this is the case.
12. Players are advised to obtain the course owner's 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 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 assesments may be levied by the cousre owner and the rules are subject to change at any time. For this reason, many players prefer to continue to play several different courses.
