General Rules of Disc Golf 1. Only throw when every player is ready. Play in 4-somes (or less), shortest going first and tallest last on the first drive. Make sure the fairway is clear and there’s nobody in between you and your target. After the first hole, the golfer that did the best on the previous hole goes first, and so on. 2. Throw from within 2 paces from the Tee marker post. The proper etiquette is to wait until the group ahead of you has finished the hole before driving. 3. Whoever has their disc further from the basket should be the first to throw on subsequent throws. 4. There are no out of bounds at The Retreat (at least in golf), but you must avoid people, horses, vehicles and windows. If you hit one, it’s a one stroke penalty added to your score (and you have to pay for the windows you break!). 5. To complete the hole you need your disc to land and stay rested by the support of the tray or chains of the basket. You should finish each hole on the course to get an accurate score. 6. Mark your score for each hole. To keep track of your scores you should write down the total throws it took to finish each hole. At the end of the round, you should have 18 individual scores that can be added up to find the total for the round. 7. For scoring and winning disc golf rounds, the player with the lowest total after the round is the winner. 8. Here are the most common scores that you can get while playing a hole: • Albatross (-3) • Par (0) • Eagle (-2) • Bogey (+1) • Birdie (-1) • Double Bogey (+2) 9. This was a simplified overview of the important disc golf rules that every player should follow. There are a lot of regulations and specifications that go into each rule, so if you’re interested in learning more you can visit the official rules of the PDGA. 10. Have fun!
