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.

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.
