General Description Of Play
Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. The object is to throw
the disc from the tee area to the target "basket" in the fewest
number of throws.
- Players must tee off from the tee pad. Be sure the players in front
of you are out of range.
- When playing a hole, the player farthest away from the basket throws
first.
- The hole is complete when a players disc lands in the basket or
chains.
- The player with the least number of throws on the last hole, tees
off first on the next hole.
- Discs landing in certain places are considered out-of- bounds (OB).
Players OB shall incur a one stroke penalty and
then throw from the
point within one meter of where the disc crossed the OB line.
- The spot where your previous throw has landed is called the
"lie". To begin your next
throw, your lead foot must be on or within 11 inches directly
behind the lie. The other
foot may be no closer to the hole then the lie. A run-up and
natural follow through after
release is allowed.
- Any disc that comes to rest above the ground (in a tree or bush) is
considered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground
directly beneath the unplayable lie. (one stroke penalty)
