Best Shot Doubels Format:

Best Shot is by far the most popular doubles format. Both players throw from each lie (starting with the tee shot), then the team chooses which of the resulting lies to continue play from, until the hole is completed. •A team may take a reasonable amount of time to pick which lie they want before the 30-second play clock starts.
•A lie that is picked up without being marked is gone forever; the team must throw from the other lie. If the second lie is picked up, it must be replaced in accordance with PDGA rules. All lies must be marked according to PDGA rules.
•If the first player throws from the wrong lie, the second player may still throw from the correct lie.
•In case of injury or disqualification, one partner may play alone, throwing one shot at each lie (essentially playing singles)

Etiquette:

First rule in disc golf, whoever has the most fun wins. After that play safe, play fair, and play by the course rules. Wait until the hole is clear before you throw, Stay behind your disc when you throw, and take a meter when you go out of bounds.

FCDGA's benefit Tournaments are always a great time for a great cause! It is a Casual Event designed for all. This is the perfect disc golf event if you've never played in one before. Dog and family friendly. Please play by the course rules (leashes). We'll have food, water (for people & dogs), and featuring the new Green and Gold Tee Pads. The beginner division will be using the Green Tee Pads. Thanks to CSU for helping get those in to make it a more beginner friendly course.

A Soft Place to Land is a 501c3 non-profit, all volunteer foster home based dog rescue. Our focus to dogs that are on on euthanasia lists at various shelters in Colorado and the surrounding states. We have a special place in our hearts for special needs dogs and seniors and these special babies tend to take precedence over other dogs needing a rescue option. Senior and special needs dog do require a bit of care and tend to be in rescue longer than younger more adoptable dogs so we are always looking for long term fosters and sponsors for our special kids. If you would like more information about fostering please visit the foster care tab. If you would like to sponsor a dog in need you can use our donate button on our homepage or visit http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/CO371.html to see our available pets and choose a dog you specifically want to sponsor.
