Watching this the hour before my first tournament lol, thanks for the rundown.

Disc golfing for a year, watching all sorts of coverage of pro tour events, and learned more in this one video than I have all year on other videos. Thank you Robbie.

I love how you can make boring subjects fun and enjoyable to watch.

I appreciate you bringing up the thorns as not being a "dangerous lie". Just an FYI, there is no specified distance (believe you said 5m). The rule is just to go straight back on the line of play "at the nearest point that provides relief". It's really up to the card to agree on what that first point is. It might be 1m back if it's an ant hill or 50m back if it's a power ranger battle.

I actually didn't know you were allowed to place your mini/lie behind the disc as well as in front of it, so that was news for me. :) Great video!

I would highly recommend (especially for older phones in really cold weather) setting your phone on low power mode and keep it in a warm pocket so you don't lose power before the round is over. You don't want to get that 2 stroke penalty at the end of the round due to a dead battery.

Thanks for the casual spin through the rules, Robbie.

this is awesome. i had never heard of provisionals before now.

This is a great video. Hits on your objective of content for newer disc golfers, but is a good reminder for more experienced players.

This is a great video. I’ve never played a tournament and this made we want to! Thanks dude!

Man could’ve used this vid when I played in my 1st tournament in October. Shot a +7 with 3 double bogeys in round 1 but rebounded with a -9 in the 2nd. Finishing under par was the goal. Plus my card mates were great guys. Respect the grind man, way too cold here to do a round!

I’m playing my first sanctioned tourney in the second week of Feb and I recently wiped the stamps off all my discs and got really concerned they were not going to be legal bc I thought the whole “distinguish markings” was to identify as a legal disc not YOUR DISC.

Robbie, when you were talking about putting inside the circle, you mentioned that there was an “either”. On the penalty. Just wanted to clarify for anyone that was confused, 806.01(B) calls for a stance violation and a 1 stroke penalty. Nothing else is required to happen. Play continues as normal.

Great Video as always. This may be a little late for you to fight the cold, but a quality puffy vest over a hoodie with a glove (or mitten) on your off hand. Money! Throwing hand goes in the pocket of the down vest and you should be good to go.

The OB rule with taking a line behind it, is a big positive.

when I looked in the rules book it seemed like you could only play a mini Infront of the disc, I don't know if I'm reading this wrong but here is what I found "Alternatively, the player may mark the lie by placing a mini marker disc on the playing surface, touching the front of the thrown disc on the line of play."

Am Tip: If you don’t want to spend money on a mini, stop by a convenience store and get yourself a large fountain drink. The lids are the correct size and shape per the PDGA and make great minis.

Good vid

@13:39 I played a sanctioned round at Kilborne in Charlotte a couple days ago and I threw a disc on hole 9, saw it hit the tree 120 feet from the tee pad, saw it fall, and we couldn't find it in 3 minutes. I told my card mates that I was going to re tee for my third throw and they said that they would continue to look for it. Officially, it was declared a lost disc so I couldn't have played it had somebody found it after my declaration, but that didn't stop me from walking very slowly back to the tee pad. The card behind us was sitting on the bench at 9's tee pad and they offered to come up and help us look for my disc. I thanked them and let them know that it was already declared a lost disc and I was going to throw another horrible throw that they could witness. I threw a horrible throw and they witnessed it. I ended up with a 5 on a hole that is usually very easy to par.

Pretty much every park is called "Veteran's park". Screwed me up once when I went to meet a friend at Veteran's park.

I ordered a Mr Putt when I first heard of them but it never came in the mail. Was intrigued but not enough to purchase twice. You should try a Lasso or three.

Hi did i hear that if your disc gets on the top of the basket now it counts?

You only have to demonstrate balance before moving forward, meaning backwards falling putts like a reverse step putt are allowed. (but are so close to useless, it's probably not even worth practicing). 19:55 You don't "have" to go in there to play your shot. If you are outside 10m, you can go in under the tree from the camera side, and mark with your back foot, place your front foot in front of the mark somewhere, and jump that foot up and throw. It gets you forward with no penalty. If you are up against a tree, I believe you can mark with your back foot on the trunk and jump your front foot and throw... because the tree is in play as being behind your disc(I have no idea if anyone would allow this).

You can mark your disc from the back? Never heard of that or seen it

Not sure where you saw that you can mark behind the disc, that is not something in the marking the lie section : per 802.6 -The position of a thrown disc on the in-bounds playing surface marks the lie. -Alternatively, the player may mark the lie by placing a mini marker disc on the playing surface, touching the front of the thrown disc on the line of play. A mini marker disc is a small disc, not used in play, that complies with PDGA Technical Standards for mini marker discs. -When the thrown disc is not on the in-bounds playing surface, or when the lie is to be moved by rule, the player marks the lie by placing a mini marker disc in accordance with the applicable rule. -Throwing from a lie marked in a manner other than described above is a marking violation. A player receives a warning for the first marking violation. A player receives one penalty throw for each subsequent violation of any marking rule during the round. Overall, great info though lots of these rules are missed throughout different skill levels in tournament play

I tip to make your mini bigger for say a fairway run up is to regularly mark with a mini but your able to add a frisbee on top of it. It’s gotta only cover half of the mini (on the basket side) allowing the mini to still be the furthest point from the basket. Now you have a half covered mini marker that seems to be an entire disc. I find this help tremendously with my peripheral vision of my lye

I'm pretty sure a pringle's can's lid and double as a marker. Just so you have a back up plan...

You mention throwing a provisional if you're unsure of a ruling, but can a provisional be used in the same way as ball golf if you are unsure whether your ball went ob or not, you can hit a provisional. Play that ball until you get to the point that your other ball may have went out. If your first ball is in play, you pick the provisional up and play out the hole with the initial ball, as if nothing happened. If you can't find the first ball, you continue playing the provisional and add the stroke and distance penalty to it. Basically a means of speeding up play, rather than needing to walk back to tee up again, or possibly walk back to your last lie to throw again.

@vajason1976

Yes. If you are unsure if your discs is OB, and that OB would result in throwing from your previous lie, declare a provision and throw. If you get to your disc, and it is determined that it is NOT OB, disregard the provisional throw and continue to play the hole. If it is OB, then your provisional throw becomes your post-OB throw.

How do you play a lie when its not physically possible without serious landscaping to reach the position of your disc. Do you just get hosed for that even though your willing to try and get to it?

I don’t really understand the relief rule. If you have to get to your disk, just get a foot on it and pitch out it’s the same.

1) in the scenario where you lost your disc in tall grass, but then found it after teeing off again, should you have called a provisional before the second tee shot? 2) how do you mark a provisional on the pdga scoring app?

My favorite was a tournament that sells beer to my teammate at a C-tier where alcohol is actually allowed within PDGA rules at TD's discretion, only to get DQ'd by the TD for drinking a beer between rounds (lunch) sold to them by the event itself. Also "practice throw" calls for tossing someone an OB disc. If you call someone on that that, you are cancer.

The meter relief from Obi throws can be in any direction.

Hey Robbie, that sucks that the “lost and then found” disc thing happened to you. The same thing happened on a card I was on, but it was this past fall on a Par 3, wherein my cardmate’s disc disappeared under the leaves and wasn’t located until after he returned to the tee box and threw his re-tee. I was the one who informed him that he would have to finish out the hold from his re-tee. We were all bummed for him but we used the PDGA app to look up the rule on the spot and it was what it was. I was curious about what you said about playing a provisional for a lost disc and looked the lost disc rule up. 805.03.C (Lost Disc) Once a disc has been declared lost, the status does not change if subsequently found. A player is allowed to use the disc if found. Can you explain how taking a provisional for your lost disc on the par 5 could have played out if you had taken a provisional? Would you have been able to play from your disc in the tall grass after declaring it lost? I’m stoked that you made an episode about this ✌️

@dustinroberson1865

5 ай бұрын

In my understanding, he could have thrown a provisional from the tee after his first shot, if he thought there was a chance his disc was lost. At that point you play the provisional until you get to the point that the other disc may have been lost. You then spend your allotted time looking for the disc. If you find it, you pick up the provisional and play the first disc. At this point, there would be no reason to play out the provisional because you found the initial disc and it's in play. If you don't find the disc, you finish out with the provisional and it scores out like the stroke and distance penalty would have. What I'm unsure about, is if you continue playing, do you have until you make your putt, for someone to find your disc and be able to use it, or when you are done searching for your disc and make your next throw, is the firs throw now null and void. I could see an argument as to why you would be able to use the first disc up until you hole the putt. Had you thrown much further than you thought, or had a roll that put the disc much further up the fairway, you could find it after the next throw and before you finish the hole. For what he was talking about with playing both the provisional and first throw out, would be if there is no tournament director right there and you were unsure about a lie, you could play a provisional. You would then play both discs out keeping track of which was which, and the TD could verify the proper call at a later point.

So, do you throw the provisional first or second?

This is basically a plant with hundreds of tiny hypodermic needles on each leaf, each needle capable of providing a sting along the lines of a bumble bee. (I rode bare legged through a beach covered in Blue Bottles that flung up on my legs... Very similar to my brushes with Ongaonga..... Very humorous... (for spectators to the event that is) I believe this would have to be an allowable relief. i would also guess that if your disk backs up to a 100ft cliff that standing within a meter of would be life threatening (and for some reason they didn't mark it as OB.). brings up a question.... say a concrete edge pond... disc lands past the pond but only 2mm completely inside bounds... even with a marker in front that would not leave more than a disc diameter to "safely" stand in... (my feet are bigger than a disc so I would have to have both sideways to the basket... and therefore stand a chance of overbalancing backward into the pond (or down a terrace ob etc...

Isn't there also no penalty relief for barbed wire?

You cannot place the mini behind the disc. It must be in front. 802.06 B 7:26

Something that doesn't often get mentioned about "THE RULES"... You can actually break a LOT of them without any repercussions other than... A penalty.. You CAN just throw another disc from the Tee if you want.... If your also happy to take the penalty. If breaking a rule (that doesn't involve any other player or expulsion from the event) is going to make your day better... sometimes for mental wellbeing (especially if your really just there for fun) you ca just take an appropriate penalty and move on with your life... I'm not saying break rules and get away with it... more ... be happy with that step putt if it was an otherwise personal best... just take the penalty... and learn from the mistake. Get the scoring wrong (I know I will... not Maybe... I WILL get them wrong, Dyslexia and ADD sees to that)... But just roll with the penalty (unfortunately my Anxiety counters that one for me)... And at the end of the day... you could possibly have your score nullified I guess... but if you had fun (and not at any other players expense) sometimes that's all that matters (again I don't care what score I get as long as I have some good shots, beat some on some holes and have someone that is struggling beat me ... I'm happy. (Actually that's sort of my mediocre mantra on all things me).

First question: If you take a provisional on a par 4 or par 5 but you clearly find your disc you thought might be lost or OB, are you always required to finish out the hole playing from both lies? Or is that only if there's a question for the TD to make the final call on?

@RobbieCDiscgolf

5 ай бұрын

So if you've lost the disc to OB, a provisional only lasts until that provisional has been used. For instance, you throw a 450 ft drive that was OB the whole time and you don't know if it got in bounds or not. Because of this, you throw a provisional chip shot onto the fairway just to be safe. The moment you throw from the provisional chip, if you haven't looked for the other it no longer matters. That throw has been moved on from. Does that makes sense? but the rule book reads this, " In the case where a ruling is disputed or uncertain, a player may have to play out from both the original and the provisional throws, essentially completing two legs. Once a ruling has been made, only. the throws for the correct leg are counted." So it seems like the safe move is always to compelte the two legs!

So if i throw a drive 450 ft (I can't) and think it might be lost in thick brush or maybe it went OB most of the carry, I then decide to throw a provisional from the tee. Throw 150 ft just to make sure I'm safe. Play my second from the provisional chip shot, since I'm still 300 ft away from my questionable first drive. And then finally get up to my original and see that I'm clearly in bounds. Wouldn't pace of play dictate that I stop throwing from my provisional?

Or at least go and see yourself. You're going to be allowed 3 minutes to find the disc anyways for a lost disc according to rules, so it would be creeping in on the practice throws vs provisionals to just always play one out as a "just in case" rule. That's certainly my understanding, but TD's and officials are welcome to chime in here.

@@tayloredwards2330 You are correct... the provisional disc is no longer needed when the original throw is found in bounds. The provisional is always good to play out the rest of the hole when there is any question as to what the correct play is, but when you find the first drive in bounds, you know it is legal and the one you should play, therefore it negates the need for the provisional. Continuing to play the provisional would indeed slow down pace of play. Very good question! But also remember... when in doubt, play a provisional. There is more forgiveness for playing an unnecessary provisional over misplaying a regular shot that will always incur penalties... so you are smart to err on the side of caution.

1. Landing on the OB line (partly in/partly out) is in bounds, correct? 2. You cannot throw from OB, correct? 3. So in order to stand behind your lie but still be in bounds you get a 1-meter relief from OB, correct? 4. Does that relief from the OB line incur a penalty?

The line is considered OB so part of your disc has to be on the inbounds side of the line. If you are inbounds then you get one meter away from the ob in a perpendicular line from the ob line without a penalty incurred. If you are ob then you get 1 meter from the OB line in any direction you choose. You cannot have any point of contact on the ground in an OB area when you release a disc. Let’s say you are putting and have taken a meter but really need a little more leg room for whatever reason. You could have your back foot on the ground in the OB area as long as when you release the disc that foot is not on the ground in the OB area.

In ball golf, there is a situation where you can take stroke and distance for any shot that you declare is unplayable, totally player decision. Can you do that in disc golf...like a monster roller that you don't want to play from?

I will never be a good player, but I regularly play with gloves and with cold it is useful

what about, you're in bounds but up against a barbed wire fence?

This is a response to someone else but I didn’t want it to get buried deep in the replies. ​​⁠You always have the option to abandon your previous throw and throw again from the same spot you just threw from. Scenario: You are putting for a score of 2 from 10’ away. Your putt goes through the chains and rolls 60’ down a hill into thick brush but is still in bounds. You can abandon that shot and putt again from the same spot. The way the scoring works is that 2nd shot still counts as a shot on the scorecard and you take a one stroke penalty on top of that so you would be taking that same 10’ putt but it would be for a 4. You can abandon a shot at any time and in the above scenario it is worthwhile because you know you aren’t going to miss that 10’ putt again and you also know that a lot bad stuff could happen if you tried to get up and down from 60’ away in thick brush. In my opinion this isn’t used as often as it should be by amateur players.

Then I'd also if you feel unsafe play from that same marked spot as the provisional as if you are taking relief with the 1 stroke penalty.
