PDGA NT: 2019 Dynamic Discs Glass Blown Open 24-Apr to 27-Apr-2019
- Thread starter brutalbrutus
- Start date
802.05.C: A drop zone is a lie. A drop zone is an area on the course, as designated by the Director, from which a throw is made under certain conditions. A drop zone may either be marked and played in the same manner as a teeing area, or in the same manner as a marked lie. A teeing area may be used as a drop zone.
802.04.A: Play begins on each hole with the player throwing from within the hole's teeing area. A teeing area, or tee, is the area bounded by the edges of a tee pad, if provided. Otherwise, it is the area extending three meters perpendicularly behind the designated tee line. The tee line is the line at the front of the teeing area, or the line between the outside edges of two tee markers.
Hole 16's drop zone was a single painted line indicating the front of the drop zone. In this case, it was drawn as if it was the front of a tee area, and it was intended to be played in the same manner as a teeing area. The drop zone extends backward 3m from the line.
The drop zone on hole 16 is located about 5m after the OB line (DZ exists on a small peninsula that was painted to be OB).

They should call his next signature disc exactly this.
There's a Jones Gold? Thought it was just East and West, neither of which is a true Gold level course (East is probably a Blue+).

The card made the call, in discussion with JohnE, that's why you check the rule book. The notion that the DZ went back that far seems to have come up in the online discussion. But Robert and Terry went through the rule book and it was pretty clear they blew it.

It blew my mind that JohnE could mess up that ruling, and that no one on the card noticed.
It's honestly one of the simpler rules at the Country Club; You go OB on the tee, you go drop zone. No matter what.

...or maybe the other 3 noticed and didn't correct him on purpose?

...or, as lame as telling a vid crew midway thru the round not to use any of the video with him on it because he isn't playing well?

The real question is why he didn't throw a provisional.
I've stilled some of JE's putts, and it appears his ankle is on the ground. But way too close to call in real time. Any sports enthusiast watching for the first time would probably laugh that it's legal to do that in competition.
Enjoying the FPO coverage. Catrina Allen (in the few years I've watched her game) seems to really be coming into her own @ 34. Her putting especially, has come on strong. She's beating players almost 15 years younger than her.

Watching it live, it did not seem like he knew that the drop zone was mandatory. He seemed only concerned at to where he went OB.

just wondering here....does it seem odd that we have a commentator who is the team captain of the title sponsor's players describing the shots and giving detailed info on the discs that company sells and also pays his salary?
i worked for a publicly traded company for 25 yrs and we were drilled on ethics often. in that type of corporate environment even the appearance of impropriety was highly frowned upon. perhaps we haven't arrived at that point.
just something that crossed my mind.

It's clear in the caddy book: "If OB off the tee, MUST proceed to the Drop Zone."
Didn't anyone on the card have a caddy book?

It would seem even more weird to have put the head of Innova in the booth. It is his party, I don't see why he should not pimp his company.
You're giving these players far more credit than they've earned. I'm sure all of them had their caddy books. I'm also sure that none of them even considered taking a look at it. In my experience, skill in throwing a disc has no correlation whatsoever to one's knowledge and understanding of the rules.
