Jan 20th Fixed/Subjective
My choice to write my paper about the Frisbee golfing subculture came mostly from the fact that not only would it be easy for me to study, but also because I am already very familiar with it. For the most part, I do not believe that too many fixed positions will come into play for me on this one. Things such as gender, race, and nationality apply very little because this sport is open to anyone who wishes to play, and at the course that I have chosen to make my field-site, anyone can play for free. One fixed position that may be present is age, because I would guess that a toddler or a crippled elder would have some difficulty throwing that 350-foot fairway on back nine. As far as subjective positions, this is where I will have to be careful. I have been playing Frisbee golf for at least 3 years now, and along the way I have been playing with most of the same friends on most of the same courses.Thus, I will need to make it a point to include more examples other than the ones that I am already very familiar with.
