How do you play disc golf?

Disc golf is played in a similar manner as ball golf. The initial "drive" is taken from a designated tee area. Each subsequent throw is taken from just behind the spot where the disc came to rest. Each throw is added to the player's score. As with ball golf, each hole is given a par rating. A common strategy for a par-three hole, as in golf, would be drive (long throw toward the basket), approach (mid-range throw to the "green"), putt (short throw into the basket). The hole is scored when the disc has come to rest in the target basket or when it hits the designated part of an object if there are no baskets and it is an object course.
Hyzer and anhyzer refer to the release angle of a disc. A shot thrown with hyzer is released with the outside edge of the disc angled down towards the ground. A shot thrown with anhyzer is released with the outside edge of the disc pointed up towards the sky.
