    Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one
    club and two balls.


    Play on course must be approved by the owner of the hole.


    Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and
    keep the balls out.


    For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course
    owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.


    Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid
    damage to the hole.



    Object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the
    owner is satisfied play is complete. Failure to do so may result in
    being denied permission to play again.



    It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon
    arrival. Experienced players will normally take time to admire the
    entire course, paying special attention to well formed mounds and
    bunkers.



    Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played or
    are currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset
    owners have been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.



    Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear, just in case.



    Players should not assume that the course is in shape to play at all
    times.

    Players may be embarrassed if they find the course 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.



    Players should assume their match has been properly scheduled
    particularly when playing a new course for the 1st time. Previous
    players have been known to become irate if they discover someone else
    is playing what they considered a private course.



    The owner of the course is responsible for the pruning of any bushes,
    which may reduce the visibility of the hole.



    Players are strongly advised to get the owners permission before
    attempting to play the backside.



    Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to
    proceed at a quicker pace at the owners request.



    It is considered an outstanding performance, time permitting, to play
    the same hole several times in one match.
