DISC GOLF RULES
GENERAL…….
Disc Golf is played like ball golf using a flying disc. One
point is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty is
incurred. The object is to acquire the lowest score.
TEE THROWS…….
Tee throws must be completed within or behind the
designated tee area.
LIE…….
The spot on or directly underneath the spot where the previous
throw landed.
THROWING ORDER……
After teeing-off, the player whose disc is farthest
from always throws first. The player with the least amount of throws on the
previous hole is the first to tee-off on the nest hole.
FAIRWAY THROWS……
Fairway throws must be made with the foot
closest to the hole on the lie. The other foot may be no closer to the hole
than the lie. A run-up and normal follow-through, after release, is allowed.
DOG LEG……
A dog leg is one or more designated trees or poles in the
fairway that must be passed on the outside when approaching the hole.
Until the dog leg is passed, the closed foot to the dog leg must be on the lie
when the disc is released.
PUTT THROW……
Within 3 meters of the pole, a player may not step past
the point of his lie in making his putt throw. Failing or jumping putts are not
allowed.
COMPLETION OF HOLE…….
A disc that comes to rest in the Disc Pole
Hole basket constitutes successful completion of that hole.
UNPLAYABLE LIE……
Any disc that comes to rest more than 2 meters
above the ground is considered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown
from the new lie on the ground, directly underneath the unplayable lie. (1
throw penalty)
OUT OF BOUNDS…….
A throw that lands out of bounds must be played
from the point where the disc went out of bounds. Water hazards and
public roads are always out of bounds. (1 throw penalty)
COURSE COURTESY……..
Don’t throw until the players ahead of you are
out of range.
