Joker: So a brunette is driving along a country road, when a flock of sheep crosses in front of her. She stops and waits patiently while the sheep cross, then beckons the shepherd over. "What kind of animal are those" she asks. The shepherd says "they're called sheep." The brunette says "they're...

You should offer a package deal that includes a wolf.

JC, Starting an argument is not the point of this thread.

You're right. I meant to add "the last hole" (since the next tee is mentioned in the Lie def), but got distracted. Thanks Martin.

Disclaimer: this thread is meant for fun So, enter your best rule book criticism. Something that makes no sense, is contradictory, or is simply illogical. Be selective, creative, and, if you must, lawyerly. In the definitions section, a lie is defined as a throw as and a practice throw as...

And there's the Dunning-Kruger effect.

So basically what DeLaveaga DGC has done except that instead of "Masters Cup" it will be called "Professional World Championship."

Knights who say Ni! Division Since they are attracted to shrubbery :D

A large part of a rule set is consistency and a fair application of responsibility. In the case of a lost disc, there is a component of consistency with the penalty applied to an optional rethrow (as pointed out above); however, the responsibility for an optional rethrow is clearly assigned to...

I ran this sequence in my Universal Generator of History (UGH), and the problem is if McRay, McBeth, Wysocki, and Lizotte were all 27 at the same time there are several changes that make disc golf comparisons impossible. McBeth is playing 2nd base for the Philadelphia Phillies, Wysocki is the...

Check me on this, using the example above with both players parking a second tee shot: If Ricky & Paul both declared throw again, they'd get 3s. If they both declared provisional, they'd get 4s (albeit by different means). If Paul declared provisional and Ricky declared throw again they'd get a...

If under the "throw again" rule Paul could have chosen to rethrow from the tee with no penalty, then I don't see a problem.

Just curious about two things: 1. What about blind doglegs where the disc was last seen at, say, 50% of its flight? 2. How long after the initiation of the three minutes can players wait before joining the search and avoid a courtesy violation?

It looks to me like the PDGA disciplinary process document enables the board of directors to initiate an action without a complaint from the event TD, a player, or even an attendee of the event.

The PDGA could take disciplinary action. What do you think, does this rise to the level of, let's say, a shoulder bump?
