The yard is a course. The disc is a paper plate. A laundry basket waits as hole one. Count every throw. The booklet keeps the round. Lowest total at the last basket is the champion of the grass.
The scorecard booklet
Fold a paper in half. Write holes 1โ9 down the left, names across the top. That booklet lives in a pocket for the whole walk.
Disc โ a paper plate, a plastic lid, or a real flying disc if one is already in the shed.
Baskets โ a laundry hamper, a bucket, a hula hoop on the grass, a tree trunk you have to kiss with the plate. Mark each with a ribbon or a napkin flag.
Keep the flight on the lawn. Soft toss. The porch, the street, and the windows stay out of the fairway.
Nine holes
Walk the yard once and plant the flags: under the maple, by the fence, next to the porch step, a long one down the side path. Par is 3 unless the hole feels legendary โ then write par 4 in the booklet.
Throw from a tape tee. Next throw starts where the disc came to rest. In the basket (or touching the trunk, if that is the hole) ends the count. Write the number. Walk to the next flag.
The round
Take turns. Farthest from the basket throws first. A plate that lands in the basket on the tee shot gets a little star in the booklet โ an ace.
Add the nine holes. Lowest sum wins. Ties play hole 1 again, sudden leaf.
Course Adds
Island green โ a hoop on the grass. The disc has to finish inside the hoop.
Mandos โ the disc has to fly past the left side of a tree before the basket counts.
Twilight nine โ last holes as the light goes gold. Call the plate colors out loud so everyone can still see whose disc is whose.
Clip the booklet on the fridge if the gazette still has room. Tomorrow the flags can move.
