The Rules
Eight discs or fewer.
The bag stays on.
The clock runs.
Disc golf played against two numbers at once — your score and your time, reported together as one record.
It isn't a rushed round of disc golf. It's a different sport with a different tension: a birdie is worth one point, and so is a minute. Every choice out there is a trade between them.
The Rules
Eight is the ceiling, not the target. Every disc you carry has a job — no spare, no just-in-case, no second version of something you already have.
Carry fewer and you've done it better. A six-disc round and an eight-disc round score the same, but only one of them is a flex.
Over the shoulder from the first tee to the last putt. You throw with it on. It doesn't come off to rest, to line up a shot, or to putt. If you can't throw with it on, you're carrying the wrong bag.
Start it standing on the first tee, before your first throw. Stop it when your last putt comes to rest — not at the car, not in the parking lot, not when you catch your breath.
The clock measures the round, and nothing else.
Throwing the same disc you just picked up? You don't need a marker. Take your stance with no supporting point ahead of where the front of your disc lay, and throw.
This applies everywhere, putts included — inside the circle you still show balance behind where the disc lay before advancing.
You're the fastest thing on that course, and it isn't your course. The group ahead has the right of way — always, no exceptions — and you announce yourself before throwing anywhere near anyone. But catch them at their tee and ask nicely: most players can see you're running a fast round and are glad to wave you through, or play the hole with you and let you run ahead — especially once they watch you send a drive past them with the bag still on.
Every friendly play-through is somebody's first look at the sport — make it a good one.
Everything not modified here follows the PDGA Official Rules of Disc Golf.
Scoring
47 STROKES + 34:44
81:44
"An eighty-one forty-four"
Your score is your strokes plus your minutes, seconds carried. Read it aloud as a time. Lower is better. There's no separate winner for score and time — there's one number, and it holds both.
Records
A record is a claim, not a certification.
No officials. No cards verifying each other. No sanctioning body. A stopwatch, a GPS track, and your word — the same way trail running has handled Fastest Known Times for decades. It works because everyone's upfront about what it is.
Every course carries two titles. The Current Record goes to the lowest combined number, and anyone can take it. The Founding Record goes to the first round ever played there, and it never moves — however slow it was. If two claims land on the same day, the earlier stopwatch start takes it.

First round played and recorded as Disco Golf
Permanent. But the Current Record — 79:07 — is up for grabs.
Beat 79:07 →Two titles at every course. The Current Record, which anyone can take from you. And the Founding Record — the first round ever played there — which nobody can. That one is permanent. It can't be beaten, only claimed before you get there.
There are seventeen thousand courses on earth, and almost every founding record is still unclaimed. Almost nobody gets to be a touring pro. Anybody can be first at their home course, forever. The book is live — verified claims go straight in.
