Each Autumn, disc golfers from around the world gather
at their local courses for one purpose: to throw aces! No
putting, no approaching... just runnin' at the chains.
To add to the challenge and excitement, players all throw
the same model disc: in past years this has been a brand
new, never-seen-before Discraft prototype disc that is introduced
each year especially for Ace Race. All participants receive
a player's pack that includes two discs and other goodies.
Player's package is valued at $67, and your entry fee is
only $25!
Format:
Two rounds of 18 holes, one throw per hole per player.
Course layout:
Holes are generally between 180 and 250 feet (55 to 75 meters).
Rules of play:
Players are required to use the player package discs, and
only these discs. If a disc is lost, the player has the
option of using the second disc from the package. Only one
throw per player per hole. All players should have their
own scorecards and mark "A" for aces (a hole-in-one)
and "M" for holes on which they hit metal.
After all players in the group have thrown, discs are picked
up and the group moves directly to the next tee. Players
keep their scorecards for round two, using the next line
on the card to record the round.
The player with the most aces after 36 holes is declared
the winner. In case of ties, the number of metal hits is
used as a tie breaker. If a tie persists, a closest to the
pin contest is then used to determine the event winner.
