Sport of Champions... and rednecks

So today Riley and I GPS'ed a Frisbee Golf course at Will Rogers Park in good ol' OKC. Wow! A whole world has opened up to me that I never knew existed! I tried to pay close attention so that maybe someday I may be accepted into this amazing sport. Here are some things you will and will not need if you decide to take up frisbee golf:

Must Have:
-Beer- must be canned, the park doesn't allow bottled beer, so you are guaranteed to have something cheap and crappy (my apologies to those of you who enjoy a good Natural Light).
-Cigarettes- you can actually hold a frisbee in one hand while keeping your cig lit in the other.
-Tattoos- you may be hurling a small round piece of plastic through the air, but no one will make fun of you cuz you've got all those cool tats!
-A bag to carry your frisbees. A true frisbee golfer has multiple frisbees so you will need something to carry them in. If you are really ghetto you can just use a Walmart sack. If you are hard core you have a special carrying case complete with backpack-esque strap and multiple pockets for your beer (though if you run out of the beer never fear, there is a gas station across the street from hole 12 where you can restock before moving on to 13)
-A severe twang- 'nuf said

Not necessary:
-A shirt- you're out in the great outdoors! If you got it, flaunt it!
-Proper grammar- screw your sixth grade English teacher, double negatives just sound better!
-A trash receptacle- If you have trash, just leave it on the ground with the rest of the beer cans and plastic bags, who needs wildlife?

And just in case you are wondering what one wears while frisbee golfing, here are a few tips. Ladies, even though you are doing something active, there is no need for sweatpants or spandex tops. Just wear some jeans and whatever top you usually wear (tight, low-cut, and midriff are all okay, also feel free to wear anything that salutes Harley Davidson). Guys, anything goes. Just pull something out of the bottom of your hamper, no one will smell you, you are outside!

Now, I should probably make one of those statements about the views stated in this post do not necessarily reflect the stance of everyone at this site or our supporters... you get the picture. So if you are an avid frisbee golfer and are slightly offended by my color commentary of my experience, please realize that this may be specific to the area I was in, it may just have depended on who was off work that day, and the fact that most of the good folks out there were very friendly and could easily have kicked my butt at frisbee golf.

So if you find yourself with some time on your hands and the weather is nice but you don't have the cash to go real golfing, just grab yourself a frisbee and a Bud and try your hand at this exciting past time.

Yay for redneck sports! Josh and I discovered Corn Hole about 2 years ago and are obsessed during the summer months. I'm sure you've heard of it, but if not..check it out!
