Approximate
Lie:A lie established by the player's group in order to resume play:
to correct a misplay from out-of-bounds (801.04 B (4)), following the
thrower's election to throw from the previous lie after throwing
out-of-bounds (803.08 B (1)), following an instance where the thrower's
disc has been thrown and removed by another player (803.09 B), following
a lost disc (803.10 B), following a lost marker disc (803.10 D), or
following a rain or hazardous conditions delay (804.04 C).
Away Player: The player whose lie is farthest from the hole and
who shall throw next.
Casual Water: Bodies of water other than those that have been
specifically designated by the director prior to the start of the round
as out-of-bounds or those that have been specifically designated by the
director prior to the start of the round as not being casual water.
Completion of a Round: The round has been officially completed
for all competitors when, in the director's opinion, the last group on
the course has completed their final hole and has had reasonable time to
walk from their final hole to tournament headquarters.
Director: The person in charge of the tournament or event. The
term "director" may be used to refer to the tournament
director or the course director in multi-site tournaments. The Director
may designate an official to rule on appeals.
Disc Entrapment Device: A target used to complete the hole,
usually consisting of an upper entrapping section of chains, cables,
tubes, etc. and a lower entrapping section of a basket or tray.
Drop Zone:an area on the course, as designated by the course
designer or director, from which play is resumed after the preceding
shot (1) was thrown out-of-bounds, (2) missed a mandatory, or (3) landed
in a protected area (governed by 804.01, Special Conditions). The
throwing area from within the drop zone should be clearly marked in a
manner similar to the marking of a teeing area.
Fairway: The in-bounds path or field over which a player throws
while advancing from the teeing area to the hole.
Group: The competitors who are assigned to play a round together
for the purpose of verifying scores and proper play in accordance with
the rules.
Hole: The target that must be reached in order to complete that
segment of the course. The term "hole" also refers to the
numbered segments of the course that are separate units for scoring.
Holed-Out: A term used to signify completion of a hole. A player
has "holed-out" after the removal of the at rest disc from the
chains or entrapment area of a disc entrapment device or after striking
the marked area of the designated object target.
Lie: The spot on the playing surface upon which the player takes
his or her stance in accordance with the rules.
Line of Play: The imaginary line on the playing surface extending
from the center of the target through the center of the marker disc and
beyond.
Mandatory: An object or objects that the disc must pass in a
designated manner on its way to the hole. A mandatory functions to limit
the legal path the disc may take to the hole.
Marker: A term used to indicate either the mini marker disc or
the thrown disc at rest, both of which can be used to indicate the lie
from which a thrower's next shot should be played.
Marker Disc: See Marker.
Obstacle: Any feature of the course that may impede any aspect of
play.
Official: A person who is authorized to make judgments regarding
the proper application of the rules during play.
Out-of-bounds: An area designated by the director prior to the
start of play from which a disc may not be played. The out-of-bounds
line extends a plane vertically upward and downward. The out-of-bounds
line is itself in-bounds.
Par: As determined by the director, the score an expert disc
golfer would be expected to make on a given hole. Par means errorless
play under ordinary weather conditions, allowing two close range throws
to hole-out.
Penalty Throw: A throw added to a player's score for violating a
rule, or for relocation of a lie, as called for by a rule.
Practice Throw: During a round, the projection of a disc of a
distance greater than two meters, or of any distance toward a target,
intentional or not, which does not change the player's lie, either
because it did not occur from the teeing area or the lie, or because the
player had already thrown competitively from the teeing area or the lie.
Throws that are re-thrown in accordance with the rules are not practice
throws. Provisional throws made pursuant to 803.00 C(3) are not practice
throws. A player shall receive a penalty for practice throws in
accordance with sections 803.00 B or 804.02 A (2).
Provisional: See Provisional Throws. Provisional Throws:
Additional throws used to complete a hole when a group is having
difficulty reaching a decision on a ruling. The hole is completed under
both possible rulings, both scores are recorded and the proper ruling
and score are then determined by the director at the end of the round.
Putt: Any throw from 10 meters or less as measured from the
rear of the marker disc to the base of the hole is considered a putt.
Putt (falling): A putt after which a player touches his or her
mini marker disc, or any object beyond the lie, including the playing
surface, before having demonstrated full control of balance.
Relief: A change made to the player's lie or surrounding area,
such that an obstacle is removed from the vicinity, or when that is
impractical, the lie is relocated away from the obstacle in accordance
with section 803.04 C.
Supporting Point: Any part of a player's body that is in contact
with the playing surface or some other object capable of providing
support, at the time of release.
Teeing Area: The area bounded by the edges of a tee pad (if
provided); otherwise, the area extending three meters perpendicularly
behind the designated tee line.
Throw: The propulsion of a disc that causes it to change its
position from the teeing area or the lie.
Thrower: The player who has made, or is about to make, a throw
that is the aspect of play being considered by a particular rule.
Unsafe Lie: A lie from which a player decides that obstacles to
stance or throwing motion make it impractical or unsafe to attempt a
throw. The lie is relocated with a penalty.
Warning: Where prescribed by a rule, the initial advisement a
player is given for violating that rule, making him or her vulnerable to
receiving a penalty throw for subsequent violations of that rule or set
of rules within the same round.
