How to Play to Disc Golf:

1. Start from the teeing area. The players must throw from behind the front of the teeing area.
2. Subsequent throws are played from behind the spot where the previous throw came to rest. This spot is know as the "lie". If you disc comes to rest in a tree or bush, the lie is the spot on the ground directly below.
3. A run-up and follow through are allowed, but the player must release the disc before stepping past the lie.
4. A putt is a throw from within 10 meters of the target. When putting, you may not step past your lie before establishing balance.
5. The hole is completed when the disc comes to rest in the basket or chains. The hole is not completed if the disc is resting on top of the target.
6. If a throw goes out-of-bounds: play from either the last in-bounds location with 1-throw penalty or re-tee with a 1-throw penalty.
