Over adult beverages last night a few of us got onto a debate... Do you have to finish a round with ONLY the discs that you started the round with????? if so , is it a rule or is it from the competition manual??? I have been looking but haven't found anything..... THANKS

No. You can replace discs from your car or even buy them during a round. You can borrow discs from other players. Just make sure they are uniquely marked or indicate that your "mark" is the player's name who is on that disc you borrowed.

I would agree with you, but Matt Orum said that when he was on tour in Cali last, after the round started he found a disc of his and the guys in his group insisted that he could not use it or add it to his bag since he had started without it!!! I have looked pretty carefully and I don't see any such rule, I am checking discretionary rules now.. BP#5996

I'd just tell them I had it all along and if they deny it, they can provide me with a list of every disc I had in my bag to start the round.

Sounds like MattiO should have appealed to an official or the TD to overrule the group's erroneous call (as allowed by rule 805.01).

cgkdisc's answer is correct.

The only time I've seen a player's disc not be allowed for the rest of the round is when the TD makes that a stipulation when a player throws OB on a specific hazard or hole. That rule is not allowed in a PDGA event although I've heard it has been done. The TD of course can make that a requirment in a non-PDGA event.

I believe the fable has its origins in ball golf rules that do not allow a player to carry more than 14 clubs in a round. If you start with 14 clubs, you are not allowed to get a club from the parking lot during the round if you lose a club. However, if you start the round with less than 14 clubs, you are allowed to add clubs during the round from a store, friend, or trunk up to the maximum 14.

Thankyou for your answers... they are the same as I thought..... sometimes locals play somethings their own way... those Cali boys are different!!! For sure dude..... Thought it might be a descretionary rule but it is not listed ANYWHERE... Thanks again,I will tell MattiO that his homeboys screwed him!!! LOL
