Where in the rule book does it say Drinking alcohol is illegal at a PDGA event?
Section 804.5 states:
(4) Activities which are in violation of the law or park regulation or disc golf course rule, including the illegal consumption of drugs or alcohol.

Suppose the Course is on a brewery and in no violation of a local law and the drink is of age.

The drinking player is not in violation?

The mail question is, does the PDGA have it written that drinking in general, is illeagal in a PDGA sanctioned event?

The alcohol rules are all in the Competition Manual which are official rules for sanctioned competition in addition to the regular rulebook. Read section 3:

chuck, why aren't the competition manual and rule book combined?

3.3 Professional Misconduct:
B. Consumption of alcohol or use of any illegal substance
from the 2-minute warning until the player�s scorecard is
submitted. Abuse of alcohol after play and on course property is
considered professional misconduct
D. The use of alcohol is forbidden from the 2-minute warning
until the player�s scorecard is submitted. Such use shall
result in immediate disqualification at a B Tier or higher
event. At a C or D Tier event the TD shall either disqualify
the offending player or issue them a warning. If a player
has been issued a warning, all subsequent violations shall
result in immediate disqualification.

Because the rules are about playing the game itself without officials, divisions, entry fees and aspects of conduct. Millions can learn how to play the game by the rules daily without PDGA sanctioning. The Competition Manual describes how to handle things for a sanctioned PDGA event. Pretty common to have the rules of the game separate from rules for competition published by any of several organizing bodies in any other sport.

Rules please! 2009 bowling green amateur were blaine wins and with holeing out or turning in the card drinks beer. All of this on youtube and seen by all and no immediate DQ? Nobody cares about the rules, not even the PDGA. If they did he would have been DQ right thin right, and? I know the PDGA wants the players to call this but, why didn't they step in? BIG EVENT right? Nobody cares what you do or when you do it. You might just have to ask sometimes.

That has already been discussed here.

My bad! Setting at home drinking beer

No worries. I'm just sittin here at home eatin' my pflugers.

Disc golfers just like to argue and cause trouble.

thanks chuck, that makes sense.

or can i download/print up some copies and make my own to pass out at my next event?

so alcohol at any PDGA sanctioned event is against the rules? during event? and or after the event?

My copy of the rulebook incorporates the competition manual. Flip it over and the competition manual starts from the back.

Perhaps Rules Committee determinations and clarifications will follow.
