GENERAL RULES OF PIRATE POINTE DISC GOLF COURSE:
• Teams will play best shot.
• Stepping past the marker disc is permitted after the disc is released, except when
putting within 10 meters.
• Players must have one foot at the spot where their disc lands.
o If player repositions disc, the player shall be assessed a one-throw penalty.
• All roads are out of bounds. (If more than 50% of the disc is on the road, the shot is considered out of bounds)
o If disc lands out of bounds on road, player will receive one-throw penalty.
The player may elect to play the next shot from:
• 1 – the spot out of bounds where the disc lands
• 2 – Player may move disc 90 degrees to the closest spot in bounds
• If a disc comes to rest above the playing surface in a tree or other object on the course, its lie shall be marked on the playing surface directly below it. If the playing surface directly below the disc is inside a tree or other solid obstacle, the lie shall be marked on the line of play immediately behind the tree or other solid obstacle. If a disc has come to rest above where the player can reach the disc while standing on the ground, the player shall be assessed a one-throw penalty. No penalty shall be incurred if the disc falls, unassisted by a player or spectator, to a position less than two meters above the playing surface before the thrower arrives at the disc. The thrower may not delay in order to allow the position of the disc to improve.
• A player whose disc is declared lost shall receive one penalty throw. If the throw was made from the tee, the player will re-tee for the next shot. If not made from the tee, the group will determine the approximate lie from which the throw was made, and the player will throw again from that lie. In all cases the original throw plus one penalty throw shall be counted in the player's score.
