Rules-
For those familiar with PDGA rules, we will be following general rules and practices.
All players will play best shot doubles. Each team will choose the shot they want to play from, in order to achieve the best score(similar to a golf scramble). Once 1 player from the team has made their disc in the basket, they will move on to the next hole.
All tee shots must be from the concrete area. No points of contact while throwing can be touching another surface.
After your disc has come to rest, you may mark the lie by placing a Mini Marker, a disc not being thrown for the next shot, or flipping the disc towards the basket.
Your next shot must be from an area NEAR THE SIZE OF A SHEET OF PAPER behind the lie.
Falling putts/Jump Putts are allowed outside a 33ft area, denoted by trail markers around each basket. Inside that circle, you must remain behind your lie until your disc is in the basket.
Your score for each hole is the number of throws the team took to go from tee pad to basket. You only count used throws, even though both players will play from each lie. EX- Your team each throws a drive, a shot from the fairway, and 1 putt(which goes in), your score is 3. If you miss the putt first and your partner makes it, it is still a 3.
Any disc that lands WITHIN 3 FT OF OB will be allowed to relocate their lie to 3 ft away from OB area.(3 ft from a fence, a parking lot, a guard rail etc, not 3 ft from your landing spot) in any direction
Teams with the lowest score after 2 rounds will receive prizes. Currently, 1st and 2nd is planned for each division, but could expand based on entries and sponsors.
Lunch will be 1 hour from last score card turned in.(If you complete 18 holes at 11 am, and others are on the course still, you will have more then 1 hour. This ensures everyone gets AT LEAST 1 hour to enjoy a break and get food)
