Tutorial for free-play mode...
Free-play is free play. You just run around and do anything you want.
Why a tutorial for that? Because you can use free-play to do various things.
Every time you select free-play (Shift-Q, F), 48 baskets are placed somewhere on the current terrain.
No baskets will be under water, but can be anywhere else.
If you press the Ctrl-key while selecting free-play, more baskets will be placed.
Shift-key, even more baskets, and the Ctrl and Shift keys together will place the most baskets.
If your frame-rate slows down with lots of baskets, change them to pole-holes.
If you are playing a course, and switch to free-play, the course structure will remain, but you are no longer playing for score or required to throw from any particular spot. This can be used as a way to practice, or just have some fun.
Free-play can also be used to bail out of a challenge course or speed-safari before completion.
A few functions can only be done from free-play...
switching terrains
loading discs into your bag
coloring and customizing your discs

Tutorial for playing a hole...
Like most things, playing a hole is simple, if you know how to do it.
First, get onto the tee-pad.
If the preference box "Move player near 1st tee." is checked, then you will be taken to the first tee when you start a course.
If the prompt looks like this...
You are not on the tee yet.
move forward until you see...
Now, you are ready to throw a disc.
After throwing, walk to your disc, and you will see...
When you are behind the disc, it will change to a mini-marker.
Now, you are ready to throw your next shot.
Be careful not to move away before throwing.
After you throw into the basket, you'll see something like this...
Now, walk to the next tee.
Press Tab-key to see the score-card.
Tips:
You can try to do a run-up when you throw. You have to time your throw so that you release the disc while you are over the teepad, or your throw will not count, but your score card will show a penalty stroke. This can add significant distance to your throws because your running-speed will be added to your throw speed. You can also try the same thing on a fairway shot.
If your disc lands in water, it will be dropped on land at the last spot it crossed the water's edge. Look for it there.
If your disc stays up in a tree, you can walk under it and it will drop out (with penalty stroke).
The disc will eventually fall out of the tree.
If you lose a disc, press L to activate the disc laser-beam, then look around.
There are no mulligans in the game, but you can always do Ctrl-G, hole-number, Enter-key to go to any hole and play it.

Tutorial for mandatories...
A mandatory is a spot on a hole that you must go around, when playing the hole for score.
In this game, you can create 6 kinds of mandatories.
By default, a mando will look like a mesh screen...
A player can press M to turn the screen on or off.
The important edge of the mando is marked with a small red stake. If you don't like to see that stake, then place a tree to hide it.
If a player has mandos turned off, then the hole will look like this...
If the player throws a disc to the right of the tree, the disc will hit the mando screen, and be dropped to the left with a clear shot at the basket, but with a penalty stroke added to his score.
Here's how you could define a double mando...
This brings up the next subject which is go-through mandos.
A go-through mando will look like a green-ish pane of glass, and a player must shoot through it.
Why the two kinds of mandos?
The difference is this:
If a player misses a go-around mando, the disc will hit the screen and be dropped with a penalty stroke.
If a player misses a go-through mando, the disc will keep flying as normal, but a penalty stroke will be added to the player's score upon completion of the hole.
No penalty if the player un-winds and throws through the mando plane the proper way.
note: Editing a double-mando on a hole (edit mode only) was recently added as an update to the game.
Game owners should download the game again if they want to place a double-mando while editing a hole.
Double mandos can always be placed while designing your course.
