“What do you do?”
“I’m in the Air Force, I just moved here.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Corpus Christi sucks, there’s nothing here.”
Are you so dumfounded by your inability to google that you consider a city with a quarter million people and miles of drivable beaches less interesting than a Jersey Shore rerun? No, I don’t have anything against Jaega-bombs. I’d just rather do something mentally stimulating like, oh I don’t know, coloring.
All it took was thirty minutes on the internet, and I have a long list of upcoming events, concerts, shows, and cool places to check out while I’m here. Since lots of them cost money, here’s something that doesn’t.
I’m about to introduce you to the underground scene of a cutting edge sport that only those with their finger on the pulse of the city have the privilege of experiencing.

A seven dollar disc (a little more streamlined than your traditional frisbee) is literally all you need. Disc golf is a great idea for a cheap date, and you score points for being in touch with nature, or whatever. Or bring some beer and have a good time with your equally socially inept friends!
Speaking of ultimate frisbee’ers, some people are CRAZY about this sport. The even have tote bags filled with driver discs, and putter discs, and 60 SPF hypoallergenic bug repellent. I told you, there is an entire underground culture around these courses that you never even knew about. Some of the newer courses have signs with layouts, just like the pro’s. And yes, there is a national disc golf tournament. Ping pong is an Olympic sport, who are you to judge.
Note: The professional disc golfer is typically also good at a crossover game called Where The Fuck Is My Frisbee!?™
Point is, there’s probably a disc golf course near you. Do a quick search for it and go give it a try. Of course, I just realized that it’s winter somewhere in this country. These people have no idea how good they have it.
We’re going disc golfing this weekend. Probably wearing shorts.
Having met with a the very small Corpus Christi Atheists group brought up a lot of interesting conversation not just with the group but with other friends also:
