The net is similar to a tennis net, but is mounted two inches lower. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer smaller version of a wiffle ball.

Miscellaneous Disc Golf Disc Golf is played like traditional “ball” golf, but with flying discs (Frisbees and similar objects) instead of balls and

clubs. One point (Stroke) is counted each time the disc is thrown and when a penalty is incurred. The goal is to play

each hole in the fewest strokes possible. The player with the lowest total strokes for the entire course wins. The

Kekionga Disc Golf Course is free to all players! Simply provide your own throwing discs.

Miscellaneous

Tee Throws Each hole begins with a tee throw. Tee throws must be completed at or behind the designated tea markers

Lie The lie is the spot where the player’s previous throw has landed. Mark the lie with a mini disc or turn over the thrown disc, directly towards the hole or designated fairway. The player’s subsequent throw is made from directly behind the marked lie.

Throwing Order The player with the least amount of strokes on the previous hole is the first to tee off on the next hole. After teeing off, the player whose disc is farthest from the hole always throws first.

Fairway Throws Fairway throws must be made from directly behind the lie. A run-up and normal follow-through, after release, is allowed, unless the lie Is within 10 meters of the target. Any shot within 10 meters of the target requires that the player not move past the lie until the disc is at rest.

Dogleg (or Mandatory) A dogleg is one or more designated trees in the fairway that must be passed. Until the dogleg is passed the closet foot to the dogleg must be on the lie when the disc is released.

Completion of Hole A disc that comes to rest in the disc pole hole basket or chains constitutes successful completion of that hole.

Unplayable Lie Any disc that comes to rest above the ground is consid-ered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground, directly underneath he unplayable lie, relocated to avoid damage to the vegetation.

Out of Bounds If any area of out of bounds is visible between the disc and out of bounds line, then the disc is considered out of bounds. A throw that lands out of bounds, must be played from a point 3 feet in bounds from where the disc went out of bounds. Permanent water hazards and pub-lic roads are always out of bounds.

Penalties Recreational players will not be penalized for rule infractions. Other players will keep you honest.

Course Courtesy * Remain quite and avoid unnecessary movements while others are throwing. * Stand behind the player who is throwing until throw is complete * Remove disc from disc pole hole after completing the hole. * Help new players learn the rules * Allow faster groups to play through when possible * Pick up trash and put in proper receptacles * Do not alter the course (trees, bushes, etc.) in any way.

One of Decatur’s most popular recreational activities, the River Greenway Trail meanders along the St. Mary’s River and through Decatur for nearly 4 miles. The pathway links 2 major parks and a Frisbee golf course, providing open space, recreational access and wildlife habitat in the community. While it is difficult to determine exactly how many people use the River Greenway Trail, there is no doubt that it is one of the most widely used amenities in Decatur for bikers, skaters, walkers and runners.
