Disc
golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a
ball and clubs, players use a flying disc or frisbee. The disc/frisbee
is thrown from a tee to a basket, which is the “hole”.
As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each
consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw landed.
Finally, the “putt” lands in the basket and the hole
is completed. The object is to throw the disc/frisbee from the tee
area to the target “basket” in the fewest number of
throws.

Rules
of Play
- Must
start play on hole one.
- Players
must tee off from the designated tee area. Be sure the players
in front of you,
and other park users 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.
- 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
