Gotta wonder if the parks department tends to overlook the softball players because they're paying to be there, and they are on a schedule. The park knows when they'll be there and when they'll be...

The attitude of "it's causing no harm so what's the big deal?" is one that is harmful to our sport on so many levels, one of which is this alcohol issue. If it's not allowed, then those that...

Star power certainly sells products, if the "star" is Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods or Lebron James. Problem is, disc golf has no "stars". There obviously isn't a name in our sport that transcends...

Have you contacted the TD to find out what the story is? It's not as though the PDGA has some kind of magic wand they can wave to make the TD do what he is supposed to do. I'd bet the more people...

No matter what's going on around you, you always need to maintain the long view of the round as a whole. Tournaments aren't won on the first hole or the eighth hole. No one cares who has the low...

I take it as a personal challenge when I'm paired with a relative noob in a random draw round. I take more pride in cashing, even if it's last cash, with a noob partner than I do winning...

Which is exactly why I've been saying all along that the judgement has to happen in the moment, not in the rulebook. Intent can be judged any way the group sees fit. Of course nothing is...

1) An official can't be penalized, so how is that scenario relevant to whether or not it is a penalty if a player chooses not to move out of the way of his/her own disc?

Sorry Chuck, but the key word in the rule is intentional, which implies intent. If you stand still when there is clearly time to move, you do so with the intent of allowing the disc hit you and if...

I think in general, you have to have begun at least one hole in order to differentiate between being late (par + 4) and failing to hole out (DNF). So the player in the OP situation had yet to throw...

Personally, I think appropriate tee pad size depends a lot on the length required of the tee shot. A hole that calls for a drive of no more than, say, 250 feet probably doesn't need anything more...

If the players in the group saw player A's disc on the ground in-bounds, then he gets to replace the disc where it was and play from there. No penalty.
