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

* For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted
to check the shaft's stiffness before play begins.
* Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club as to avoid damage to
the property.
* The object of the game is to make as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is
satisfied that the play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied
permission to play the course again.
* 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 and valleys

playing to the owner of the course which is being played.

the back nine.

times in one match.
