Discs for Dogs @ New Belgium

FCFDG'S 2023 Discs for Dogs Benefit @ New Belgium Brewery . Proceeds benefit Big Bones Dog Rescue for vet bills, food, and toys.

We are extremely excited to host our Discs for Dogs series at the world famous New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado with a fun 21-hole pop up design in the back of the brewery. Please only park in the designated parking areas west of the brewery and don't park on any neighborhood streets near the brewery.

This is a choose your own partner doubles tournament. Prizes will be given for best costumes the most fun had, and for the team that got to play the most disc golf! Our events are beginner and casual focused so a great first disc golf event for newbies!

Best Shot Doubles Format:

Best Shot is by far the most popular doubles format. Both players throw from each lie (starting with the tee shot), then the team chooses which of the resulting lies to continue play from, until the hole is completed. A team may take a reasonable amount of time to pick which lie they want before the 30-second play clock starts.

A lie that is picked up without being marked is gone forever; the team must throw from the other lie. If the second lie is picked up, it must be replaced in accordance with PDGA rules. All lies must be marked according to PDGA rules.
If the first player throws from the wrong lie, the second player may still throw from the correct lie.

In case of injury or disqualification, one partner may play alone, throwing two shots at each lie (essentially playing singles)

Etiquette:

First rule in disc golf, whoever has the most fun wins. After that play safe, play fair, and play by the course rules. Wait until the hole is clear before you throw, Stay behind your disc when you throw, and take a meter when you go out of bounds.
