Five Card Stroke


This is a side game of disc golf. To the best of our knowledge, this game originated in the Midwest area of the United States. It is played in conjunction with a regular round of disc golf guided by PDGA rules.

Each player will be issued 5 different cards. Each card will designate a different type of disc golf throw as follows:

# 1 The Side Arm. This shot can be either an air shot or a roller. May not be called if there is an obstacle blocking the player’s dominant arm.

# 2 The Thumber. This shot has the same rules as the side arm but with the thrower’s thumb placed under the leading edge of the disc.

# 3 The Roller. This shot may use a variety of grips as long as the thrown disc travels towards the target by rolling on the ground.

#4 The Pancake. This shot is one where the disc is thrown over a player’s head with the disc being released in an upside-down attitude. May be either an air shot or a “Scooby/Scooter” throw.

# 5 The Opposite Hand Putt. Must be called within the PDGA 10-meter (33 feet) putting distance. Right-handed throwers must putt left-handed and vice-versa.

# 6 I don’t think so! Can be used on any throw except a hole in one! Players may NOT retrieve their disc on a drive but may retrieve a putter.

Cards may only be played on players on the same scorecard during the two rounds of 19-holes. NO CARDS MAY BE USED IN PLAYOFFS!

All cards must be issued before the opponent steps into the tee box, or steps up to their marker/lie. The receiver marks the card with a pencil and keeps the card. The player that collects the most cards will win a special prize at the award ceremony.

A player may use a mulligan after a card shot, they may then throw anything they wish and are exempt from another “carding.”

Wow, three B-tiers that weekend. You guys have fun, and maybe we need to see about using this fundraising for concrete tee boxes SOMEWHERE in Houston.

Maybe we can consider a change for 2012......I'm sure Dave would love to help us make concrete a reality............at Moffitt.

You probably didn't even miss me last year either. My heart belongs to Moody's that weekend. It is the 13th Annual RRS, and I missed last year to go to POG in NOLA. So, you guys will have great fun without this old woman. Heck, five card is just not the same on a girls card.

I guess its a good thing that disc golf has gotten so big and so popular.

But it does kinda suck that playing in one event means having to miss another that you would like to attend.

[Suemac]

I have to agree. My memory recalls us doing this a few weeks earlier in the year.............back in the day. That allowed those of us who tournament tango to actually be a part of that.

Yep, if I remember correctly the date has changed a few times over the years trying to accommodate other events around the state. It seems to get harder to avoid schedule conflicts every year.

Now that State Doubles is in the books.....it's time to dance a five card, "who's ya buddy now?" funtime on Saturday.

I hope to see everyone out playing cards, cutting up and having a FYD Saturday at Moffitt!

Let's make Father Dave P-R-O-U-D!
