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.

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.�

Just checked the weather forecast and we are looking VERY good for weather! 0% today and 0% tomorrow with a high of 71 degrees! Wow! Perfect Moffitt Show weather!

I'm looking for two volunteers please! I need someone to grab my basket in the morning and place the 19th hole out behind #4 tee box and I need someone to help us run a putting contest during the lunch break.

Our long-time supporters of Lightning Golf Discs have made a special prize donation to The Moffitt Show. Many - many thanks go out to Lightning for making an overnight shipment to us!

We will also have Rick Bannister of FlyingHigh Disc Golf out there selling some of his wares. Every disc sold means another contribution to the fund! Wow! Thank you Rick!
