Rules in General

When teeing off, you should not cross the front of the tee until you have released the disc.

All subsequent throws should be played from where the previous throw landed. It is common to use a 'mini' disc to mark your lie. Your foot should be no more than 30 cms behind your mark, perpendicular to the target, when you release your throw.

Fairway run-ups are permitted, however, you should take care to stay behind your mark.

The disc farthest from the target, throws first.

Falling putts are not permitted within a 10 meter circle of the target. Full balance on the putt within 10 meters must be attained.

The hole is complete, when the target is hit, or, when baskets are used, when the disc comes to rest, supported by the basket or chain mechanism. Current PDGA rules do not count discs which land on top of the basket.

Current PDGA rules declare any disc which is above 2 meters, say in a tree, as Out of Bounds, and a one stroke penalty is incurred, taking your next shot from the point directly below where the disc is vertically elevated.
