PDGA Certified Rules Exam 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 deci sion 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? - 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. Standi ng 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? - A. Your disc is not clearly and completely surrounded by the hazard, 806.0 5.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. D. Your disc has broken the hazard plane, 806.05.B. You take a penalty throw but get free optional relief back along the li ne 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 c ircle. 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? - A. No, a disc that strikes somet hing 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? - A. Because not being able to find your disc is punishment enough, the player marks a new lie within a mete r 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.
