How do you play disc golf?

Rule #1 is HAVE FUN*
Disc golf is played using flying discs. Players throw discs at a target (usually a basket). When playing disc golf with baskets, the disc must be resting in the basket or the chains to be a “make”. Players keep track of strokes and once tallied at the end, the player with the lowest number of strokes is the winner.

Scenario:

1) Billy Bob throws his first shot from the tee box/area.
2) Billy Bob walks to his disc. Billy should mark his “lie”(where his disc landed.) Billy can either leave his disc on the ground and throw a different disc, or he can use a “mini” marker disc. He should place it on the edge of the disc closest to the basket or target. Billy can now pick up the first disc he threw and use it again if he wants. Billy throws again towards the basket.
3) AWW!! Just missed !!! Billy is close to the basket but didn’t quite make it. He repeats the process to mark his lie and tosses a disc nice and easy into the basket to finish with 3 strokes for the hole. Good job Billy Bob!
