Scoring Stroke play is the most common scoring method but there are many others, including match play, skins, speed golf and captain's choice, which in disc golf is referred to as "doubles" (not to be confused with partner or team play). In every form of play, the goal is to play as few strokes per round as possible. Scores for each hole can be described as follows: Term on a
scoreboard | Specific term | Definition | | -3 | Albatross (or double-eagle) | three strokes under par | | -2 | Eagle (or double-birdie) | two strokes under par | | -1 | Birdie | one stroke under par | | 0 | Par | strokes equal to par | | +1 | Bogey | one stroke more than par | | +2 | Double bogey | two strokes over par | | +3 | Triple bogey | three strokes over par | A snowman (perhaps 4 over par on a par 4 hole) is an informal term in some countries for a score indicating that 8 shots were taken at a single hole Doubles play is a unique style of play that many local courses offer on a weekly basis. In this format, teams of two golfers are determined. Sometime this is done by random draw, and other times it is a pro-am format. On the course, it is a 'best-disc' scramble. Meaning both players throw their tee shot, and then decide which lie they would like to play. Both players then play from the same lie, again choosing which lie is preferable. |
