my disc lands just under the tree. how do I play it. where am I supposed to stand, without losing a stroke?

 

[Frank Delicious]

So if CryZtal beats in faster than Z, would it be more akin to a clearer ESP?

It doesn't beat in quite as quick as ESP. I actually thought about putting "(relatively speaking)" in that post to clear it up.

This a great post booster thread.

Yes, I guess it Is!

If your disc goes into a creek which is not OB, Everyone in the group sees it go in, But cant find it, Is it a lost disc penalty. Meaning we know where it is but cant locate it.

 

[schnelle]

good post booster if you can keep up.

[prerube]

i dont think so, prerube.

this is a pretty decent thread, so those posts will probably be deleted. it's already happened in here once.

Archetype could randomly pop in and yell Pen**
There are also a new batch of people claiming to be trolls, you never know

803.04 Stance, Subsequent to Teeing Off

A. When the disc is released, a player must:
(1) Have at least one supporting point that is in contact with the playing surface on the line
of play and within 30 centimeters directly behind the marker disc (except as specified in
803.04 E); and,
(2) have no supporting point contact with the marker disc or any object closer to the hole than the rear edge of the marker disc; and,
(3) have all of his or her supporting points in-bounds.

because it sucks.

I do have one signed by Steady Ed, but I here those are pretty common.

with one foot behind your disc and the other one either parallel to that foot or behind the plane of the marker

Is it lost? I.E. Can you find it?

It's a pretty bad disc, sorry bro.

I find it tough to believe you'll ever encounter casual water you can possible lose a disc in. But, assuming this occured, yes, lost disc penalty would still apply.

too technical. so as long as im within 30 cm behind where the disc landed Im cool?

what are mini disks for?

 

[woodstock]

The creeks are normally inches deep, But today they were raging. So I think they made an exception in this case. They made it a group call. If it went in, it was just a stroke, not lost disc. If you couldnt find it. Thanks Frank

Marker discs or you can play mini dg with them. They make good coasters too.

 

[Frank Delicious]

Marking your lie so you can throw the disc you just threw (or for whatever other reason) without getting a penalty in an official round.

 

[agent_peebody]

marking where your shot lands.

they also make mini baskets and mini courses :thmbup:

Also prerube, let's not point fingers,

ArcheType has done a lot to help this thread. Sorry for my lack of respect for "is this an ace?" threads

30 cm, no other supporting points closer to the target.
