When you’re playing on disc golf courses Australia you want to make sure you practice proper etiquette. Not knowing what to do or how to act can be awkward. This is why there are some things you should know before playing your first game.
Let Faster Players go First
Let faster players and groups “play through” by moving aside. This is something that’s only done in casual rounds though.
Don’t Take the Chance of Hitting Someone
Hitting someone with a dis is something you should always avoid. Be patient and wait until it’s clear before throwing your disc. Sometimes this means asking people to move and if they won’t move, skipping the hole.
Don’t Damage Trees or Branches
The location of some trees and branches may alter how you play a hole. You never want to break them so you can get a better throw. Doing so is against the rules because it may greatly alter the course designer’s intentions.
Don’t Litter
Use a trash can to dispose of your trash or wait until you find one to do so.
Return Lost Discs
When you find a disc try to find a way to contact its owner. If there isn’t a phone number or an email address on the disc, you should ask other players to see if they know how you can contact the person to return the disc. Sometimes there’s even a social media group dedicated to the course and you can try to find people that way. In this case, you’ll want the person to describe the disc to you so you’ll know it’s actually theirs.
Don’t Inconvenience Others by Skipping Holes
When there’s a long wait you may decide to skip a hole. If you do, make sure that the hole you move to doesn’t make it so someone else will have to wait on you.
Maintain a Reasonable Volume for Music
While you may enjoy listening to music while you’re playing, someone else may not enjoy it as much. This is why it’s important for you to keep your music just loud enough for you to hear it. If you let someone play through, you should offer to turn your music off while they tee.
Conclusion
While these rules of etiquette for most disc golf courses Australia will get you through most casual rounds, you should familiarize yourself with the game’s rules before playing in a league or tournament.
