Safety
Throw safely, look after each other.
A flying disc is a hard object moving fast. Everything below exists so a Sunday morning stays a Sunday morning.
The rules that matter
- Nobody throws while a person, pet or vehicle is anywhere near the landing area. When in doubt, wait.
- Shout a loud "FORE!" the moment a throw goes off line, and take the call seriously when you hear it.
- Throw in order: the player whose disc is furthest from the basket throws first.
- Stand behind the person throwing, never beside or ahead of them.
- Play the disc where it lies, or take a step back if the lie is unsafe. This is a casual round, not a sanctioned event.
- Keep a hole open ahead of you and let a faster group play through.
Course and venue etiquette
- Arrive by 9:15 to 9:20 a.m. so cards are sorted before the 9:30 a.m. tee off.
- Stay quiet and still while someone is throwing.
- Help look for lost discs, and hand back any disc that isn't yours.
- Stay on the fairways and out of the brewery's working areas, tanks and fences.
- Pack out everything you brought in, including bottle caps and tape.
- Leave wildlife, livestock and plantings alone.
- Drinking is a Live Oak decision, not ours: follow their rules and never throw after you have had too much.
If someone gets hurt
In any emergency in Texas, call 911 first. The course address to give them is 1615 Crozier Ln, Del Valle, TX 78617.
1. Stop play on the hole
Call a stop so nobody throws into the area while someone is being helped.
2. Check how serious it is
Head, neck, back, eye injuries, heavy bleeding, chest pain, trouble breathing, or anyone who is confused or unconscious: call 911 straight away. Do not move them unless they are in danger where they lie.
3. Tell an organizer
Find a co-organizer on the course, or call out for one. We will bring the group's first aid kit and meet responders at the parking area.
4. Tell the brewery staff
Live Oak Brewing staff can open gates, guide an ambulance in and reach a defibrillator faster than we can.
5. Heat is the most common problem here
Get the person into shade, give water slowly, cool the neck and wrists. Cramping, headache, dizziness or a stopped sweat means the round is over for them. Call 911 for confusion or collapse.
6. Tell us afterwards
Let an organizer know about any injury, even a small one, so we can fix whatever caused it before next Sunday.
We are not medical professionals and we do not provide medical care, first aid training or supervision. Bring anything you personally need: water, sun protection, medication, an inhaler, an EpiPen.
