Rules question

[sidewinder22]

Im confused now, wheres Mike Moser when you need him?

[biscoe]

what is confusing you?

[sidewinder22]

So if it came to rest OB and kicks it IB from the car, its OB? If its still moving OB and a car kicks it IB, its IB? What if nobody saw it come to rest OB?

I've seen a disc on a sloped green be hit by another disc and start sliding down, like croquet. You restore the disc to where it was.

I've seen non-disc-golfers pick up a disc and throw it towards the basket. The player doesn't get rewarded for that. I've also seen them walk off with a disc during a tournament; you don't have to wander out in the neighborhood to whereever they put it and play it. You just mark the lie where it came to rest the first time.

David's got it right. I believe the key words in the rules are at rest "on the playing surface", and the basket itself is considered part of the playing surface. A disc at rest on the playing surface is replaced if moved. A disc above the playing surface is fair game for the elements until the player marks it.

If you see that it comes to rest (ie completely stops), you play it from that spot. In this case it was OB because that is where it finally stopped. If a car hits it after that, you replace it where it first came to rest, again in this case 1 meter in-bounds throwing for 3 if it was the tee shot (stroke penalty).

If a car hits it while it is moving and knocks it IB where it comes to a complete stop, then it is IB.

If you can't see the lie after you throw the disc, then it is called at the point that you can the lie. If it's IB it's in and if it's OB it's out.

It all comes down to the question, has the disc completely stopped moving? If it has then it is at rest where it is. The only exception is when a disc lands in a stream and the action of the water keeps the disc moving. Then it is declared at rest at the point where it no longer moves on its own power.

If it was at rest then yes its ob. If you hit the car while it was moving and the disc was still moving then it came back in then your good and take it where it ended up.
