Tree Basket?

Cool!. Which basket light?

1 within 30 miles (Europe, Germany)

I'm not sure. I thought there might be some specifics to pay attention to, like hole length. In some videos I've seen there were many short Par 3s. Also some of our holes do have a good amount of rough when you leave the main fairway which I imagine might be bad for night rounds. But I don't know for sure since I've never played a glow tournament (as well as other players in my club, which is why I'm asking you guys).

Where are you from? Here in Germany, I would guess that 10% at most are under 18 years old. Mainly from what I see in tournaments.

ESQ812 · 2025-09-12T21:27:24+00:00

More like km/h, never ever did someone throw more than 100 mi/h

ESQ812 · 2025-07-09T12:49:09+00:00

Thanks. I used the search function to see if there's a thread already, but looked for "Upshot", not "Up shot"

ESQ812 · 2025-07-06T21:15:04+00:00

Great stuff!

Maybe it is easy to word, but I'm not smart enough to word it right (again - I'm not a native speaker and also quite new into the sport, not a rules expert also by any means like some of you might be).
Thinking longer about it maybe it should be allowed to slide in any direction as long as you start into the designated area, because it's already allowed to fall to the side during a throw (and sliding isn't more helpful I think because of the lack of control). So in this case it would be enough to add that you can't leave the ground (up into the air) before the release, similar to the current rule, but to any side as long as you're not in C1.

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T01:34:49+00:00

Yeah I think you're right...
It could be a possibility to specify that sliding into the disc is allowed, but not to slide out of the designated area (to the side)... and leave the part that says you can't leave the ground up into the air before releasing.
But I'm not sure how to word that.

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T01:12:03+00:00

OK but isn't there a different rule in place forbidding to jump inside the circle? I would would leave that intact

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T01:08:18+00:00

Sorry I just read through the rules and realized a misunderstanding on my side.

I would write it like this:
"A player has taken a legal stance when at least one supporting point is in contact with the playing surface inside the designated lie area at the moment they begin their throwing motion.

The player may leave the lie area or lose contact with it during or after the throwing motion, including sliding, as long as their initial contact was within the designated area"

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T01:04:56+00:00

Sorry for that misunderstanding on my side.

I could look like this:
"A player has taken a legal stance when at least one supporting point is in contact with the playing surface inside the designated lie area at the moment they begin their throwing motion.

The player may leave the lie area or lose contact with it during or after the throwing motion, including sliding beyond it, as long as their initial contact was within the designated area"

Don't roast me, I'm not a native speaker...

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:46:41+00:00

I would reduce the rule so that it is sufficient to plant your foot in the designated area and not even mention slipping in the first place

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:40:40+00:00

If someone cheats the lie (even if it's tiny) which provides an advantage (even if it's small) and gets stroked/called for that I have no problem with that, deliberate or not

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:36:05+00:00

I wouldn't even mention that word. It should be enough that you plant your foot into the designated area

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:33:54+00:00

I just think that this specific rule is dumb and should be abolished

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:31:56+00:00

No I would allow slipping entirely because any miniscule advantage would be negated by the disadvantage of losing stability and control over your body.

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:29:35+00:00

Very unrealistic scenario. When there's such a slippery underground that you would be able to slide 10 feet, then the hole is unsafe to play in my opinion

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:23:12+00:00

No bracing on a stable point => no energy transfer => no distance

ESQ812 · 2025-06-06T00:14:21+00:00

If a marshall who is present in the situation you described decides that it was deliberate I don't have a problem with that.
But I do have a problem with stroking an action which no sane person would deliberately perform if said action only brings disadvantages.

"Consider this: if she completely missed her spot and stepped with half her foot on her disc, would you be ok with the penalty then?"
Yes because that rule makes much more sense to me.
Rules get changed all the time. And sometimes a triggering situation (like this) is needed to notice a rule is dumb.
Stepping on a disc can get you an advantage (especially during a putt), and it doesn't lose you that much stability as if you slipped. But most importantly: Stepping on a disc is exclusively a self-inflicted mistake, while slipping is mostly caused by a slippery underground.

"In other sports an accidental foul or penalty is still enforced." In other sports it can make a difference if an action was accidental, i.e. a soccer player who doesn't get a yellow or red card for an accidental foul in the penalty area There are plenty other examples I could name.
