PDGA CERTIFIED RULES EXAM 2023 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 22/25 SCORED. Question 1 of 25 You put your tee shot 4 meters from the target. Your putt hits the side of the catch tray and rolls 35 meters down a hill and into a pond, quickly sinking beneath the water. The rules sheet says "Pond OB." There is no drop zone. You know that the best decision is to re-putt with a penalty, but another player in the group insists you have to throw from down by the pond. What section(s) of the Official Rules of Disc Golf support your claim? - ANS A. Both 810.D and 809.01.A. B. Both 806.02.D.1 and 812.B.1.b. C. Both 806.02.D.1 and 809.01.A D. 806.02.E. Answer C Question 2 of 25 You are playing on a disc golf course that co-exists with a golf course. You throw a shot that comes to rest with your disc straddling a painted line around the edge of a bunker. Standing behind the thrown disc and facing the target puts your feet completely in the bunker. The rules sheet says "Bunkers are hazards, marked with paint." What is the correct ruling? - ANS A. Your disc is not clearly and completely surrounded by the hazard, 806.05.B, but your resultant lie cannot be in the hazard, 802.07.A.3. You take up to a meter relief from the line marking the hazard and mark a new lie there. B. Your disc is not clearly and completely surrounded by the hazard, 806.05.B. You throw from in the hazard without penalty. C. Your disc has broken the hazard plane, 806.05.B. You take a penalty throw and throw from in the hazard.

You take a penalty throw but get free optional relief back along the line of play. Answer C Question 3 of 25 Your group has thrown their drives on a hole where the fairway is short and straightforward, but the target is placed on a 1.5m tall man-made mound covered in artificial turf. All four of you are within the putting circle. The away player putts, and their disc hits the catch tray, rolls, and is stopped by the player's own bag. Another player in the group calls an interference penalty and looks over to you. Should you second the call? - ANS A. No, a disc that strikes something that isn't part of the course is played where it first comes to rest, 810.C. B. Yes, this is cheating and the player should be disqualified, Competition Manual 3.03.C.1. C. No, any interference with a player's own disc must be intentional, 810.E. D. Yes, this is interference, 810.D. Answer D Question 4 of 25 A player in your group throws their second shot past the target and into thick, deep rough. There's a white paint line between the cut grass of the fairway and the rough. The rules sheet says "white paint lines mark OB rough." The disc is nowhere to be found. The whole group agrees that the disc clearly landed in the OB area. What next? - ANS A. Because not being able to find your disc is punishment enough, the player marks a new lie within a meter of where the disc was last seen with no penalty. B. Because the group cannot locate the disc within three minutes, it is declared lost, 805.03.A. The player receives a penalty throw and must throw from their previous lie, 805.03.D. C. Because the group agrees that the disc landed OB, it is OB, 806.02.A. However, because the group cannot locate the disc within three minutes, it is declared lost, 805.03.A. The player takes two penalty strokes and returns to their previous lie. D. Because the group agrees that the disc landed OB, it is not a lost disc, 806.02.C. The group determines the point where the disc went out, and the player receives a penalty stroke and can play from an in-bounds lie placed within a meter of that point in any direction, 806.02.D. Answer D. Question 5 of 25 Your group walks up to a hole that is a blind, downhill, right to left shot. You are teeing first. You throw a left-handed forehand shot that looks good, and your card yells when you hear the disc hit metal. When you get down to the target, your disc is stuck in the front of the target's tray. Did you complete the hole? - ANS A. Yes. Your disc came to rest supported by the tray, 807.B. B. Yes. No one saw the disc enter the target incorrectly, 807.B. C. No. Your disc needed to enter the target between the bottom of the chain support and the top of the catch tray, 807.C. D. No, because less than half the disc is inside the tray, 807.B. Answer A Question 6 of 25 Your disc lands completely inside a fenced-in area. The rules sheet says "inside fence is out-of-bounds." What section of the Official Rules of Disc Golf has the rule you need? - ANS A. 806, Regulated Areas. B. 802, Throwing. C. 811, Misplay. D. 803, Obstacles and Relief Answer A Question 7 of 25 Your drive lands in a creek about halfway to the target and immediately sinks to the bottom and stays put. The rules sheet says "creek is casual water." What section of the Official Rules of Disc Golf do you look at to figure out what to do next? - ANS A. 809, Other Throws. B. 803, Obstacles and Relief. C. 805, Regulated Positions. D. 806, Regulated Areas. Answer A Question 8 of 25 The last player to tee on your thirteenth hole of the round gets aggressive on their tee shot, which kicks into the woods. "I might want to abandon that throw," the player says, "but I will throw a provisional to save time so I don't have to walk back up here." Before anyone says anything, the player throws a second shot that flies cleanly down the fairway. When you walk down the fairway, the player's first drive actually kicked out to the middle of the fairway, but the second drive went all the way down to an OB creek. "OK, I'll take the first one," they say, and throw an approach that lands under the target, and tap in their putt. They report a score of 3 on the hole: drive, upshot, and putt. What is their accurate score? - ANS A. The player took a 4. In addition to their drive, upshot, and putt, their attempted provisional did not meet the criteria because neither a rule nor the status of the disc was in question, 809.02.B. They also did not announce an intent to abandon the throw, 809.01.A. Therefore, their second drive was a practice throw, which is disregarded and for which they receive a penalty throw, 809.03.B. B. The player took a 3, just as they said. In addition to their drive, upshot, and putt, they threw a provisional which was discarded when they deemed their first drive the correct lie, 809.02.B.1. C. The player took an 8. They drove, then abandoned the throw at the cost of a penalty throw, 809.01.A. That shot went OB, which also incurred a penalty throw, 806.02.B. They then misplayed by throwing from an incorrect lie. Because they threw again to hole out, that means they take two penalty throws for the misplay, 811.F.1. D. The player is disqualified for wilfully circumventing the rules to gain a competitive advantage, Competition Manual 3.03.C.1. Answer C?
