A FEW RULES OF DISC GOLF 1) The object of the game is to throw a disc (frisbee) from the tee to the basket in the fewest number of throws. After each throw, the player must throw again from the spot where the disc has landed, until it can be thrown into the basket. On each hole, the score for each player is the number of throws it takes to "hole out" by getting the disc into the basket. After playing all the holes, the player with the lowest score wins. 2) The rules in general are similar to the game of golf (ball-golf), using similar words such as "putting" (a short shot to put it into the basket), "teeing off" (your first shot for each hole starting at the tee), and "lie" (which is the spot where your disc lands). 3) The course is made up of 9 or 18 "holes" (some courses have 27 holes). Each hole starts at an area marked as the "tee" and has a fairway leading to the basket. Tees are usually cement, grass, or dirt. 4) When playing in a group, the person who is the furthest from the basket is the next one to throw. When starting on the next hole, the person with the best (lowest) score on the previous hole is the first to "tee off", then the next best and so on. If tied, then the best on the hole before that goes first, and so on. 5) When making a shot from the fairway, a player must have one foot on the "lie" and the other foot must be no closer to the hole. After throwing the disc the player is allowed to jump forward. (This is called the "follow-through".) 6) When "putting" from closer than 10 meters (33 feet), you are not allowed to lunge forward or follow-through until the disc comes to a complete rest in the basket or on the ground. 7) If the disc comes to rest in a tree or other object on the course above two meters, the thrower will be assessed a one-throw penalty. The lie will be marked on the ground directly below it. There are several other rules that deal with more complicated aspects of the game and tournament play.
