How to play

1. Leave the course cleaner than you found it. 2. Disc golf is played by throwing flying discs (Frisbees) towards a chain basket. The objective is to land the disc in the chain basket with as few throws and penalties as possible. The winner is the player with the lowest score after 9 or 18 holes. 3. A golfer's first throw at each hole must be made with both feet on the correct tee pad. When a player is throwing don't do anything that might distract them. 4. Never throw until the players ahead are out of range, and the fairway is completely clear of park guests. Be polite and patient in waiting for others to clear the area or return to play that hole later. 5. Out-of-bounds (OB) areas include roads, over fences, playground areas and water. A throw that lands out-of-bounds must be carried in and played 1 meter inbound from the point where the disc went out-of-bounds, and that player adds a one throw penalty. If your disc lands in-bounds and is within 1m of OB, take your next throw 1m from the OB with no penalty. 6. After teeing off, the player whose disc is farthest from the chain basket always throws first. Other players in the group should stay behind the player throwing. 7. Fairway throws and putts must be made with either foot on the exact spot (lie) where the disc came to rest with the other foot no closer to the chain basket than the foot on the lie. A player may not step past their lie when putting within 10 meters of the chain basket until the disc has come to rest. 8. A disc that is suspended by the chains or basket completes that hole. Your score is the number of throws it took to complete the hole. 9. For the next hole the player with the lowest score on the previous hole is the first to tee off. 10. One round of disc golf is typically 9 or 18 holes. For official rules please see the Professional Disc Golf Association's rule book . That's it! Have fun!
