Objective of the Game:
Disc golf, similar to traditional golf, involves progressing towards a target. While in golf, players use a club to hit a ball into a hole, in disc golf, a flying disc is thrown by hand towards a specialized disc catcher.
The winner is the player who completes all the holes with the fewest throws and lands in all the disc catchers.

Gameplay of Disc Golf:

1. Disc golf is typically played in groups of 3–5 players.
2. The game begins with each player taking their first throw from the tee pad.
3. At the moment of throwing, only the player making the throw stands on the tee pad; all others remain behind.
4. The next throw is made by the player whose disc is furthest from the basket, regardless of their turn order.
5. A throw is made with one supporting foot placed where the player's disc landed. Steps can only be taken to the side or backward!
6. It is important for each player to track the number of throws made.
7. Once all players have completed a hole by landing their disc in the catcher, each player's result is recorded.
8. Don't forget to add any penalty points earned.
9. The next group of players may only start the hole once the previous players have cleared the area.
10. The next hole is started by the player with the best result from the previous hole.

Obstacles and Penalty Points:

• OB (Out-of-Bounds Line and Zone): Throwing a disc out of bounds results in 1 penalty point. The next throw is taken from the spot where the disc crossed the OB line.
• Mando (Mandatory): A mandatory obstacle must be bypassed on the indicated side. If the disc misses the mandatory obstacle on the wrong side, the player receives 1 penalty point. The next throw is taken from the drop zone marked on the map.
• Drop Zone: A designated starting zone used if the mandatory obstacle is bypassed incorrectly.
• Hazard Zone: Throwing a disc into a hazard zone results in 1 penalty point. The next throw is made from the exact spot where the disc landed.
