The area's only nine-hole disc golf course is located at Greenway Park, accessible just south of Hall Blvd. If you're a beginner, here are a few of the basics you'll need to know to get started:

Objective

• To earn the lowest score.

Teeing off

• Who goes first can be determined by mutual agreement or by flipping discs (printed side is heads).
• For all subsequent holes, the player with the lowest score on the previous hole goes first.

Throws

• A marker disc (such as a mini-disc) should be used to mark each throw.
• Place the marker where the disc landed, pick up the disc and continue playing.

Foot placement

• Place your "plant" foot close to the front line of the tee. Never place your foot over the line or more than one foot behind the line.
• Remember to follow through with your throw (step past the marker disc after throwing).
• Falling forward to keep your balance after a putt is not allowed. This is called a falling putt.

What to avoid

• Water: Your disc will sink!
• Trees. If your disc lands in a tree, add one point to your score and complete a penalty throw.
• Out of bounds: This also results in a penalty throw. If your disc lands out of bounds, place your marker inbounds, in line with the out-of-bounds disc, and assess yourself a one stroke penalty.

Completion of hole

• A disc must come to rest in the basket or chains for successful completion of that hole.
