It's not a two stroke penalty. It is the original throw + a one stroke penalty. A player going straight to drop zone is conceding the original throw, that they skipped, was OB.

I can play several rounds of regular golf for the cost of one disc golf tourney.

The throw is a stroke.

Wasn't it Nick Heimhold that called the penalty on Nikko and caused that huge disruption to the sport? Under the new rules Nikko wouldn't have been penalized (I told you all back then the rules (or lack of) were at fault. Now once again he calls a penalty, that wasn't a penalty and causes...

You should always move to the next tee before taking scores.

Please name one thing disc golf has improved over ball golf?

I personally hate pulling out my phone during a round. I do it because that is what is asked, but I think events are much more fun with paper cards and manual scoring.

3.50 star(s) Falling into place Great woods layout, 2 sets of concrete tees added in last 8 months, 6 par 4's, low disc loss chances/ Lack of tee signs, buggy at times, no rest rooms or drinking water, lack of garbage cans. The local club has done a great job on this course. Great tees, clean lines through...

I think hazards should be more widely used in disc golf but not in the way that disc golf currently uses them. I personally play a bunch of courses which have water protected by 12-15' of dense forest. Under the current rules, if you end up through the border into the water, then, under the OB...

I use a maverick for this shot. Even at low power it will keep turning right if given a bit of anny.

It doesn't make any sense except when you look at equalizing the burden on the players. I personally enjoy keeping score so never a burden for me, but for some players it really screws up their focus. It will be a good learning opportunity for them, even though I think the rule goes too far.
