• When throwing the frisbee the entire frisbee must be inside the
ring to count as being in -on the rim does not count

players will decide who goes first
• After the first throw the player who’s frisbee is furthest from the
hole will go next

• When you are done with your hole add up your score
• Do not start the next hole until the group ahead of you is
completely done with the hole
• Each hole has a par awarded it. This means this is the average
throws it should take to complete the hole.
• So par 3 means what?
• Frissbee golf is a game anyone can play for a life time
• All students should keep track of their own score and turn it in to
