Frisbee Golf: The Great Unemployed American Pastime
What I will look like in 20 years if I continue to frolf.
There are three traits that, from a young age, I’ve associated with leading an unproductive life: Wearing sweatpants outside of your home, not keeping pubic hair groomed, and playing Frisbee golf. The first two have been traits of mine for quite some time, and have been entrenched deeper into my lifestyle due to recent professional woes. Now, the last criterion has become my new favorite pastime.
My fellow unemployed friend Sam suggested we go “frolfing” last week, and as an out of work man with no prospects on the horizon, I joined him. Two other jobless comrades joined us, making it a foursome of people with little hope and a lot of time on their hands.
What started out as a lark ended up being an enjoyable afternoon. Things quickly turned competitive as we learned the ins and outs of disc golf. It was also obvious to any experienced frolfer that we had no idea what the hell we were doing. We frequently lost our frisbees, and passed over two holes without even knowing.
I emerged victorious, because if there’s an activity that’s meaningless and guaranteed to not bring me any income or make me a useful part of society, you can count on me being good at it.
We’ve already planned another frolf outing. And why not? It’s a no-brainer. It’s free (other than the cost of the Frisbee,) it’s exercise, and it’s not crowded in the middle of the day since most people have jobs.
With the unemployment rate hovering nationally around 10%, it’s surprising that more people haven’t taken up this game. While we were playing, only three other people were on the course. A hippie couple, which is not surprising since hippies rarely have jobs, and a young man who seemed to be of college age. He was alone and most likely keeping it a secret from friends and family due to the stigma attached to frolfing.
So if you’re out of a job and looking for an activity that will prevent you from getting laid, try frolf. You won’t regret it. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up the guy in the video below and will be able to throw a hole in one.
I don’t know what is more outstanding: The fact that this man has 237 holes in one, or that he’s only a man and not a god.
Either way, I doubt he’s getting laid much.

I’ve never been unemployed and play disc golf all the time. Cubby is a great guy and you’re a jerk. Good luck find a job
As a business owner and open player in the profesional disc golf association, i am offended by your article. A. you cant learn the ins nd outs in a round. B. not all courses are free, there are many private courses and disc golf country clubs. c. the reason you are unemployed is because you are not willing to work….mcdonalds is hiring 50000 employees this week, go flip burgers and get off the government handouts. d. its disc golf not frolf or frisbee golf. The person you refer to in your article is a good person and to attack him is a shame. What does getting laid have to do with disc golf or unemployment? maybe since your unemployed you cant pay your hookers? Or that you suck at playing the game and look so foolish no woman will talk to you?
good luck with your job hunt, hopefully mcdonalds will hire an idiot like you.
You obviously have way to much time on your hands, where you could be spending it looking for a job! Cubby is good people, and if you remotely knew anything about him (retired Military and Family man) you wouldn’t be saying such shameless things about a good man and Veteran!
You mister, represent what is wrong with our country! Instead of going out and being a productive member of society, you choose to Bash something you have no clue about. (you must have really sucked at playing that day!!)
Life is about CHOICES, somewhere along the line you’ve been completely misguided.
Ohh, the next time you write something as shameful as this, (and you will because you have nothing else better to do) edit what you write before you send it, because you contradicted yourself all within two paragraphs…”we had no idea what the hell we were doing.” and “We’ve already planned another frolf outing. And why not? It’s a no-brainer.”
I’m not going to wish you any luck on your job hunt, because you’ve already made your CHOICE!…now that’s a “no-brainer”!!
Best part about this: three idiots that can’t wrap their heads around satire lashing out at a stranger on the internet.
Apparently, Jeff and Larry are tools….and quite possibly the same person!
Muldo is a pretty worthless member to society and flipping burgers at McDonald’s would probably be the highlight of his life. However, I still don’t think he can get as fat as that guy in the picture.
As someone who is unemployed but can still pay his hookers, I’m offended by Jeff’s reply to Ryan’s article. This whole thing is a travesty of offense and it must be shut down post haste.
Apparently Paul and Drew are the tools and quite possibly the same person
Obviously this chooch brigade is on Cubby’s payroll. This article is, of course, meant to be humorous and self-depricating. If you are the type of person who sees a goofy blog like this as an opportunity to make a political statement, you are – as we say behind the grill at McDonald’s – a dipshit.
Shut up and get me my Big Mac, Mister “behind the grill”
I obviously can’t get upset over the word ‘frolf’ or the idea that only hippies are frolfers. But the dude is right on a few fronts, but not on purpose. Yeah, frolfers have jobs, they have to at 15 bucks a pop and 20 in a bag, right? But in all honesty, a lot of us are ‘hippies’ in a sense, and NO self respecting hippie is getting his tired ass out of bed before noon, so, the course is empty….so the guy is kind of right for the wrong reasons….Yeah, a jerky way to intro yourself to the frolfing world, but I was like him once, laughed uncontrollably whenever I saw someone playing. Then my baby brother forcably dragged me along one day…and every frolfer knows where I went immediately folloing the round….straight to fleet farm to grab the Saturn, Pluto, Whatever cheap set….First disc I ever found was a blue champ orc buried in the mud……amen
But seriously, the best part of this entire article is getting my business in the comments!

While I’m sure Paul is a great guy, there’s no way we’re the same person. I would never abuse the already put-upon ellipses.

“While I’m sure Paul is a great guy, there’s no way we’re the same person”
You and Paul have one thing in common…….. you’re the same person, the author of this blog
Listen, Sherlock. I have nothing to hide and no need to login as other people. If I have something to say here, I say it as myself. Thanks for reading the blog and be sure to tell all your disc golf buddies about me.
