<p> Rules for Frisbee Golf</p><p>Frisbee golf, which is also known as disc golf, is a recreational and competitive game with unknown origins, though the organized version of the sport was started in 1970, according to the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). The game is played with plastic flying discs on courses designed for disc golfers. Frisbee golf is more accessible to a larger number of people than standard golf, because it is cheaper to play, and often does not take as much time.</p><p>Teeing Off The first throw on any hole is known as a tee throw. Each hole has a tee area from which you must throw your disc. One foot must stay in contact with the ground when throwing the disc. You may walk or run toward the tee area prior to releasing the disc and follow through past the tee area when you release the disc. Do not allow any part of your body to pass the boundary of the tee area prior to releasing the disc.</p><p>Marking Position Use a smaller disc to mark the position of your first and subsequent throws, or flip over your disc on the course. The location of your disc has a bearing on your body positioning in your next throw.</p><p>If the disc does not land on the ground, mark the position of the disc directly underneath where the disc landed. You are assessed one penalty throw if the disc lands more than 6 feet above the course.</p><p>A disc that lands out of bounds is marked 3 feet in bounds from where the disc left the course, and you are charged one penalty throw.</p><p>Subsequent Throws The player whose disc is farthest from the hole is first to throw after each player has teed off. Your body cannot pass the mark of your last throw, except on the follow through. As with teeing off, you may walk or run up to the mark before releasing the disc.</p><p>Courses are set up around trees, poles, and other obstacles, with specific directions for how each player must move around the obstacle. The directions are marked with arrows. You must throw your disc around the obstacle as outlined in order to continue to the hole. Finishing a Hole A hole on a Frisbee golf course is completed when you throw your disc into the disc- entrapment device. You complete the hole if your disc lands on the chains of the upper half of the entrapment device, or in the basket of the lower part of the device. Some courses require you to hit the marked area of an object in lieu of a disc-entrapment device.</p><p>Keep score by adding up the number of throws it took to complete a hole. As with golf, the lowest score wins.</p>
