      New PDGA Rules for 2022: Completing the Hole

      Disc Golf United - April 27, 2022

      Changes to How the Disc Can Land in the Basket

      One of the more controversial PDGA rule changes for 2022 is not necessarily a new rule. It is technically a reversal to an older version of the same disc golf rule. It affects Rule 807, which is focused on “Completing the Hole.” Specifically, it has to do with how the disc can end up in (or on) the basket in order to consider the hole complete for any given player.

      Here is the amended PDGA Rule 807.B:

      In order to complete a hole with a basket target, the thrower must release the disc and it must come to rest supported by the tray or the chains below the chain support.

      The Old Rule

      In years past, this Rule 807 more specifically sta

      New PDGA Rules for 2022: Mandatories

      Disc Golf United - April 20, 2022

      As of January 2022, there were a few important updates to PDGA rules. Last week, we covered the new OB relief rules. Today, we want to talk about the updated mandatory (aka “mando”) rules. The altered rules more clearly define the vertical and horizontal planes of the mando and what is considered “restricted” air space. These new changes related to the regulations found in rule 804.01 in the PDGA’s Official Rules of Disc Golf.

      What is a Disc Golf Mando?

      First, it helps to clarify what a mandatory is in disc golf. You can read our previous article (

      New Disc Golf Rules for 2022: OB Relief

      Disc Golf United - April 13, 2022

      PDGA tournament season is here. Sanctioned events are happening everywhere and the number of tournaments will only increase as we get deeper into spring and summer. There were several new and updated rules enacted by the PDGA as of January 1, 2022. In this series, we will be covering the most notable changes to the PDGA rulebook for this year.

      Out-of-Bounds Relief & Legal Stance

      Today, let’s focus on the new OB relief rules for 2022. PDGA rule 806.02 has been updated to what many are now calling the “semicircle” rule. The primary change is that a player whose disc has come to rest out-of-bounds now has more flexibility where they can take their meter relief. You can read the full 806.02 Out-of-Bounds rule

      Improving Your Mental Game for Disc Golf Tournaments

      Disc Golf United - April 06, 2022

      The mental game is something that many disc golfers struggle with when it comes to competitive tournament play. You may be great every time you play a casual round with friends. However, something goes haywire in your brain when you step up to the first tee in a big PDGA event. Then, there are some players who are able to “turn it on” and seem to play better when there’s added tournament pressure.

      Physical Skills vs. Mental Toughness

      Many disc golfers have the physical skills to become a touring pro. They can throw far and are good on the putting green. However their disc golf game doesn’t always translate in tournament play. When it comes to elite disc golf, the mental game takes on a major role and is what sets apart the professional disc golfer from the casual player. Top professionals like Calvin Heimburg know how to stay focused and motivated, no matter what challenges they face on the disc golf course. They kn
