Current Update!! 1. You're playing a course where a few holes play through picnic areas in the woods. A player in your group throws an off-target upshot that hits a few trees and ends up under a picnic table. The player tries to take a legal stance, but is unable to do so. Then the player picks up one end of the picnic table and rotates it until they can take a comfortable and legal stance behind the thrown disc. Do they incur a penalty? A. No, players can move obstacles that impede a legal stance, 803.03.A. B. Yes, two penalty throws for damaging the course, 803.03.A. C. Yes, one penalty throw for moving an obstacle on the course, 803.01.C. D. Yes, a misplay under 811.F.1 because they should have taken relief under 803.02, but how many penalty throws depends on whether they throw again before realizing their mistake. - ANSWER C 2. Your group is on the last hole of the tournament. You have completed the hole, and your rival needs to make their putt to tie you. They release the putt and it lands neatly on top of the target. Did you beat them? A. No. Marking on the playing surface below the thrown disc would put their lie in the tray, 805.01.C, so the hole is complete, 807.A. B. Yes. Their disc came to rest over 2 meters above the playing surface, 805.02.B. They need to mark their lie with a penalty and complete the hole. C. No. Their disc came to rest supported by the target, so the hole is complete, 807.A. D. Yes. Their disc did not come to rest supported by the tray or the chains below the chain support, 807.B. They need to mark their lie and complete the hole. - ANSWER D 3. Your group is playing a hole with an island green, surrounded by out-of-bounds (OB). The rules sheet says "discs that do not come to rest on the island must proceed to marked drop zone with penalty." You throw your drive, but it's hard to tell whether your disc landed on the island or not. As your group advances down the fairway, approaching the drop zone, you still aren't sure whether your disc is on the island or not. You don't want to walk down to the island, only to have to walk back if you landed out-of-bounds. What can you do instead? A. Concede that your disc did not land in the island and proceed to play from the drop zone with a throw penalty, 811.F.1. B. Declare a provisional in the interest of saving time, 809.02.B.1, and throw that provisional from the drop zone as long as your group agrees that it may save time. C. If your disc is not on the island, play it as it lies with a penalty throw to save time, 806.05.C. D. There is nothing you can do. You have to determine where your disc came to rest first, 805.01.A. - ANSWER B 4. Your drive hits a cedar tree and immediately gets stuck. When you walk up to the tree, there's a pole leaning on it that you can use to get your disc down. You notice it has a marking on it showing where 2 meters is. You mark your lie directly under the front edge of the disc on the playing surface. When you get your disc down, it's clearly up higher than 2 meters. The rules sheet has no notes for the hole, but has a few notes about the two meter rule for various trees and holes elsewhere on the course. Are you assessed a penalty? A. Yes, the presence of the marked pole indicates that the two-meter rule applies to that tree. B. No, the two-meter rule was abolished by the PDGA in 2006. C. Yes, the two-meter rule applies everywhere if it applies anywhere, 805.02.A. D. No, the two-meter rule is only in effect where the TD specifies, if at all, 805.02.A. - ANSWER D 5. You put your tee shot 4 meters from the target. Your putt hits the side of the catch tray and rolls 35 meters down a hill and into a pond, quickly sinking beneath the water. The rules sheet says "Pond OB." There is no drop zone. You know that the best decision is to re-putt with a penalty, but another player in the group insists you have to throw from down by the pond. What section(s) of the Official Rules of Disc Golf support your claim? A. Both 810.D and 809.01.A. B. Both 806.02.D.1 and 812.B.1.b. C. Both 806.02.D.1 and 809.01.A D. 806.02.E. - ANSWER C 6. You are playing on a disc golf course that co-exists with a golf course. You throw a shot that comes to rest with your disc straddling a painted line around the edge of a bunker. Standing behind the thrown disc and facing the target puts your feet completely in the bunker. The rules sheet says "Bunkers are hazards, marked with paint." What is the correct ruling? A. Your disc is not clearly and completely surrounded by the hazard, 806.05.B, but your resultant lie cannot be in the hazard, 802.07.A.3. You take up to a meter relief from the line marking the hazard and mark a new lie there. B. Your disc is not clearly and completely surrounded by the hazard, 806.05.B. You throw from in the hazard without penalty. C. Your disc has broken the hazard plane, 806.05.B. You take a penalty throw and throw from in the hazard. D. Your disc has broken the hazard plane, 806.05.B. You take a penalty throw but get free optional relief back along the line of play. - ANSWER C 7. Your group has thrown their drives on a hole where the fairway is short and straightforward, but the target is placed on a 1.5m tall man-made mound covered in artificial turf. All four of you are within the putting circle. The away player putts, and their disc hits the catch tray, rolls, and is stopped by the player's own bag. Another player in the group calls an interference penalty and looks over to you. Should you second the call? A. No, a disc that strikes something that isn't part of the course is played where it first comes to rest, 810.C. B. Yes, this is cheating and the player should be disqualified, Competition Manual 3.03.C.1. C. No, any interference with a player's own disc must be intentional, 810.E. D. Yes, this is interference, 810.D. - ANSWER D 8. A player in your group throws their second shot past the target and into thick, deep rough. There's a white paint line between the cut grass of the fairway and the rough. The rules sheet says "white paint lines mark OB rough." The disc is nowhere to be found. The whole group agrees that the disc clearly landed in the OB area. What next? A. Because not being able to find your disc is punishment enough, the player marks a new lie within a meter of where the disc was last seen with no penalty. B. Because the group cannot locate the disc within three minutes, it is declared lost, 805.03.A. The player receives a penalty throw and must throw from their previous lie, 805.03.D. C. Because the group agrees that the disc landed OB, it is OB, 806.02.A. However, because the group cannot locate the disc within three minutes, it is declared lost, 805.03.A. The player takes two penalty strokes and returns to their previous lie. D. Because the group agrees that the disc landed OB, it is not a lost disc, 806.02.C. The group determines the point where the disc went out, and the player receives a penalty stroke and can play from an in-bounds lie placed within a meter of that point in any direction, 806.02.D. - ANSWER D. 9. Your group walks up to a hole that is a blind, downhill, right to left shot. You are teeing first. You throw a left-handed forehand shot that looks good, and your card yells when you hear the disc hit metal. When you get down to the target, your disc is stuck in the front of the target's tray. Did you complete the hole? A. Yes. Your disc came to rest supported by the tray, 807.B. B. Yes. No one saw the disc enter the target incorrectly, 807.B. C. No. Your disc needed to enter the target between the bottom of the chain support and the top of the catch tray, 807.C. D. No, because less than half the disc is inside the tray, 807.B. - ANSWER C 10. Your disc lands completely inside a fenced-in area. The rules sheet says "inside fence is out-of-bounds." What section of the Official Rules of Disc Golf has the rule you need? A. 806, Regulated Areas. B. 802, Throwing. C. 811, Misplay. D. 803, Obstacles and Relief - ANSWER A
