Disco.Golf

Claim your record

How a record gets into the book, and the form for filing one by hand. Most rounds are filed straight from the app, which fills all of this in for you. This form is for rounds you timed some other way. First round ever at a course takes its Founding Record, permanently, at any speed. Lowest combined number holds the Current Record.

You may not need this form. The Disco.Golf app runs the clock, measures the distance, and files the claim itself when you finish, GPS track included. It does not count your throws: every hole starts at par, you change the ones that were not, and it adds up the card. Worth having before your next round.

The Proof

Public link to the round *

A UDisc round, a GPS track, something anyone can open. It verifies the round and the course in one look. A hand-filed claim cannot be ranked without one.

How to copy your round link from UDisc

Finished round: open the You tab → tap the round → menu (≡) top-right → Share with CardCast → Copy Link.
Still on the course: tap the Share icon on your live scorecard → Copy Link.

Heads-up: UDisc's plain Share button exports a picture of your scorecard. A picture can't be pasted here — the CardCast link is the one that works.

Anything else

Extra evidence welcome here too — a link to a stopwatch screenshot, a GPS track, or video of the round. Never required, always strengthens the claim.

The Bag Question

Help settle the bag question. Add this round to the anonymous stats pool as well, so the book can work out whether keeping the bag on is actually faster. The shape of the round only: course, score, time and how you carried. Most claims never become records, and without this the round is not counted at all.

Claims are verified against the proof link before they enter the book. Prefer email? Records@Disco.Golf works too — include everything above.

How the record book works

A record is a claim, not a certification. No officials, no cards verifying each other, no sanctioning body. A clock, evidence anyone can check, and your word, the same way trail running has handled Fastest Known Times for decades. It works because everyone is upfront about what it is.

If two claims land on the same day, the earlier stopwatch start takes it. Nothing about how you carried your discs affects either title.

Filing a claim

The app files it for you. Finish a round, tap once, and it sends the whole thing: course and layout, throws, time, the combined number, how many discs you carried and how, the date, and the GPS track it recorded while you played. Nothing to type at the end of a round, which is exactly when nobody wants to type.

A round the app measured is proof enough. It ran the clock itself and recorded the track while you played, so there is nothing to hand off to a third party to confirm. This is our sport and our timing; we are not going to make a scorecard app somewhere else the judge of it.

Timed a round some other way? The form takes the same details by hand, and asks for a public link to the round as well. Not because your word is worth less, but because the book has nothing of its own to check.

Evidence of the roundA round measured by the app carries its own, and needs nothing further. A hand-filed claim needs a public link instead: a UDisc round, a watch export, something anyone can open.

That last field exists because of an argument. We suspect leaving the bag on your shoulder is faster, since every time it comes off you pay twice: once setting it down, and once walking back for it. But that is a hunch, not a rule. A few hundred rounds from now, this book will say who was right.
