THE GAME
Disc Golf is played like traditional golf but by throwing flying discs instead of hitting a ball with a club. Each time you
throw the disc it counts as one point. The object of the game is to land your disc in the target with the least number of
throws or points.
Set up your targets and determine a starting point or tee off point for each target. Determine if there are any areas
around the play area that should be designated as out of bounds, such as over a fence or a roadway. Decide the number
of “holes” to be played. Selecting multiple starting points for each target is one way to increase the number of holes for
your game. You can play as many holes as you want, or you can play 9 or 18 holes like traditional golf. Choose a player to
start the game using a coin toss. Each player then throws his or her driver disc at the target, from the designated tee off
place. Be sure to mark where your disc lands as that is the place where you will throw from on your next turn. The player
whose disc is farthest away from the target will begin the next round of throws. The next farthest from the target goes
second and so on, until all players have thrown their discs again. Continue in this pattern until all players have landed
their discs in the target. When you get close to the target, switch to the putting disc to finish the hole. The disc must land
inside the target to complete the hole. A disc that lands next to the target or on top of it does not count. If a disc lands
on top of an obstacle in your play area, you will throw from the closest possible spot on the ground. If a disc lands in an
area designated as out of bounds, you will throw from a place that is perpendicular to where the disc landed and the
out of bounds line, within 3 feet of the out of bounds line. Keep track of the number of throws each player takes to finish
the hole. After all players have gotten their discs into the target, proceed to the next tee off point and begin the next
round. The player with the least number of throws, will be the first to play in the next round. When all players have
completed each hole, the player with the lowest total score wins the game.
