  3. Overview • Frisbee golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, however, players use a flying disc, or Frisbee. • The sport was formalized in the 1970's, and like traditional golf, the object is to complete each hole in the fewest number of strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws).

  4. How to Play • A golf disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the hole. The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets. • As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. • Finally, the "putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. (PDGA)

  5. Key Terms/ Rules • Tee Throws: Tee throws must be completed within or behind the designated tee area. Do not throw until the players in front of you are out of range. • Lie: The spot where the previous throw has landed, mark with a mini disc or turn over the thrown disc, directly towards the hole or dog leg. • Dogleg: a sharp bend or turn in a path or in golf when the fairway abruptly angles. • Throwing Order: After teeing off, the player whose disc is farthest from the hole always throws first. The player with the least amount of throws on the previous hole is the first to tee off on the next hole.

  6. Key Terms/Rules • Fairway Throws: Fairway throws must be made with the foot closest to the hole on the lie. The other foot may be no closer to the hole than the lie. A run-up and normal follow-through, after release, is allowed. • Mulligan: A retaken shot from the tee is called a mulligan, usually because the first shot is an errant one. Traditionally, mulligan’s are allowed only on the first tee shot (one per round) and are not just taken at any time of the golfer’s choosing. Some social golf games also allow one mulligan per nine holes (thus two for a round of 18).

  7. Key Terms/Rules • Par: the number of recommended strokes to complete a hole. • Condor: four under par; is possible as there are some 6 par holes but they are rare and to play one four under extremely rare (4 times in golf history). • Albatross: (also known as “Double Eagle”) three under par; is rare but does occur, the first being recorded in 1935. • Eagle: two under par; most commonly seen on par five holes. • Birdie:one under par. • Bogey: one over par. • While double bogey and triple bogey are used for two and three over it is more common to give the number of strokes over par.
