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 1, 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 1, English, - disc%20golf

More precisely the throwing power is the improvement of the coating(usually metal) distribution over that given by the primary current distribution on an electrode(usually cathode) in a given solution, under specified conditions. The term may also be used for anodic processes for which the definition is analogous. 2, record 2, English, - throwing%20power

Plus précisément, le pouvoir de pénétration est l'aptitude d'un électrolyte à favoriser une meilleure répartition du dépôt (en général métallique) que celle donnée par la répartition primaire du courant sur l'électrode (en général la cathode). Le terme peut être aussi utilisé avec la même signification dans les procédés d'anodisation. 2, record 2, French, - pouvoir%20de%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tration
