League days
Rob Hancock Memorial Course, Cockman Park, Greenwood
For the first Sunday of each month between March to December we run a local competition at Cockman Park, Rob Hancock Memorial Disc Golf Course. Each day has 2 sessions with a 12 noon & 2:30pm registration times (to tee off 30 minutes after).
We are happy to run you through the rules of the game on the day – but it definitely helps that you understand the general rules beforehand. See the official rules of disc golf for the most up to date rules.
Non-members cost $5 per league day while members are free to register and play. Come down at either time slot to register so that our team can put you on a scorecard to play.
League rules
Handicaps are based on the median of 5 rounds. We will need 5 rounds of 18 holes at Rob Hancock Memorial Disc Golf Course before your handicap will be used. You can submit a signed scorecard by a Perth Disc Golf Club member for it to be official. This can either be done by playing in league days or by playing by the official rules in a casual round with a PDGC member.
The winner of Rob Hancock Memorial league day will receive a $50 Sportspower Kingsway voucher. Members will also accumulate points each league day to crown the overall winner at the end of the season!

Competitions
Outside of league days, the PDGC also run a number of other competitions throughout the year. Typically you will need to register a few weeks in advance and there will most likely registration fees. PDGC members will receive discounts on these entry fees, so it is worth having the membership.
Competitions are split into divisions which are based on your disc golf rating. If you are unsure of your skill level based on these ratings, just enter in the Novice (MA4) division and give it a go! Each division will have a winner and generally a prize.
