Disc golf relies on one's ability to throw a disc with power and accuracy. The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest total number of throws of a golf disc. Similar to the traditional golf game, a course is composed of a number of holes, in which each player begins by throwing from the tee, and completes the hole by landing in or striking the target. 4, record 2, English, - disc%20golf

The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a pole hole, an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot [lie] where the previous throw has landed. 5, record 2, English, - disc%20golf

For play the grass is cut short, lower than two inches, and has the appearance of a golf green, although a grass court must be much sturdier to resist running and sliding. Because the bounce is low and the ball skids and skips, the grass-court game is extremely fast, favoring an attacking player with strong serve and volley who gets to the net quickly.

The player with the lowest score on a hole wins the money. If all players tie a hole, the prize money is carried over and added to the next hole's prize purse.

Le joueur qui réussit la coche des coups la moins élevée pour un trou gagne le prix. Si tous les joueurs ont le même total pour un trou, le montant à gagner est alors ajouté au prix du trou suivant. Le Skins Game est une propriété mondiale du golf qui est vendue pour diffusion à travers le monde par IMG Canada.

Organized by the TELUS company. «A Skins Game is based on the concept of different holes or "skins" being worth different amounts of money. In the TELUS Skins Game, the purse is split in the following way : Holes 1-6 :$15, 000/hole; Holes 7-12 :$20, 000/hole; Holes 13-18 :$25, 000/hole. The player with the lowest score on a hole wins the money. If all players tie a hole, the prize money is carried over and added to the next hole's prize purse. The Skins Game is a global golf property sold for broadcast around the world by IMG Canada. Professional Skins Games are also played in Australia, France, Korea, Thailand, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia and the U. S. A. 1, record 13, English, - TELUS%20Skins%20Game

Organisé par la compagnie TELUS. «Un jeu Skins Game repose sur la notion de trous primés ou «skins» ayant une valeur financière différente. Dans le Skins Game de TELUS, la bourse se divise de la manière suivante : Trous 1-6 : 15 000 $ par trou; Trous 7-12 : 20 000 $ par trou; Trous 13-18 : 25 000 $ par trou. Le joueur qui réussit la coche des coups la moins élevée pour un trou gagne le prix. Si tous les joueurs ont le même total pour un trou, le montant à gagner est alors ajouté au prix du trou suivant. Le Skins Game est une propriété mondiale du golf qui est vendue pour diffusion à travers le monde par IMG Canada. Les Skins Games professionnels se jouent aussi en Australie, en France, en Corée, en Thaïlande, en Grande-Bretagne, en Arabie saoudite et aux États-Unis. 1, record 13, French, - Skins%20Game%20de%20TELUS
