I think of disc golf types as driving a beat up old Honda Civic with a bong in the trunk.
Admittedly we play occasionally now, but the stereotype was formed ~20 years ago when I was in college and played a lot more. At the course I played at most, there was a place most players stopped mid round to smoke weed. I remember one crew offered me a hit, and when I turned them down, they seemed genuinely confused at the concept of somebody turning down free weed.
Another memory was of two guys playing at 10am with a cooler of beer. They then were complaining about how they don’t get invited to extended family events as they proceeded to get totally loaded as we played.
There probably were square middle aged folks playing, just did not stick in memory.
Huh, I think of disc golfers as the privileged granola types… a stereotype I picked up in college as that’s what my college had a lot of. And a very popular pastime at my college.
I certainly was not offended. The fact that being a rich white cis straight male makes my life easy is more of a commentary on society that it is on me.
Also, despite my protestations, “Linux” is pronounced “Lynn-icks” and not “Lean-ooks” like it would be if it was pronounced according to Finnish conventions…of course, Finns don’t really use the letter “x”, so they’d first re-spell it “Linuks” and then pronounce it that way and then it wouldn’t be “Linux” anymore.
