🥏⛓️Father/Son Disc Golf Giveaway is Live!🥏⛓️

The Christmas Giveaway!

The giveaway is live! This Christmas, I’m excited to give one fortunate a premium disc golf set from Doomsday Discs. Disc golf is the perfect way to get outside, be active, have fun, and build memories together.

Here’s what’s included:

• 2 Chemtrail discs, fairway driver, 7/6/-2/1 in premium Retina plastic (Nominated for Disc of the Year by Another Round Greenville)

• 2 Bleak discs, putt & approach, 2/4/-1/1, in base Ration plastic

The best part? These discs are all you need to get started. Throw them in the yard, scope out local disc golf course at UDisc, and start creating memories that last. Disc golf is simple, fun, and a great way to spend quality time with people you love while enjoying the outdoors. It’s been tough to hike like I used to but we’ve been down to throw plastic almost every week.

Why disc golf? Because it aligns perfectly with the spirit of Fightin’ Poseidon. This is a newsletter I write for men who want to build strength, courage, and hope in the storms of life, with fathers and sons especially in mind. It’s a log of faith and family where we sail into the perilous journey of getting face to face with God, the devil, and ourselves. It’s not safe, but it can be good.

Over the past year, I’ve seen firsthand how shared weekly activities like disc golf can open the door to meaningful conversations, laughter, and real connection. This giveaway is an extension of that mission.

I want to be upfront: I’m hoping this giveaway helps Fightin’ Poseidon grow, not for the sake of numbers, but so more fathers and sons get the chance to experience it. If you know someone who might enjoy the newsletter or would love a father/son disc golf adventure, please share the giveaway with them. Maybe you don’t have kids but you’re building genuine, face-to-face and side-by-side masculine friendships through the shared suffering of being a bad disc golf player. Maybe you’re a wife or mother who wants to attempt to win a few discs for her men of the house. Perhaps you and your brother want to reconnect over a new activity. Y’all are all welcome.

What does it cost you? Only signing up for a free subscription. No money. No paywall. No credit cards. No free-for-30-days-then-we-bill-you-once-you’ve-forgotten-about-it. Plus, I’m one dude running this thing on BeeHiiv and Google Suite. I’m not selling any info and you can unsubscribe if you hate it. In fact, I’d rather you did that than subscribe and NOT read it because I’m trying to build an engaged community in a quiet corner of the internet here. Gotta find the right fit, but there are right fits out there who haven’t heard about this ship yet.

Enough about that.

P.S. If you are new to this newsletter, check out the recent post Halyards and Hospitality to get an idea of what I’m going for. There’s also two years of archives, including my first serial fiction “The Story of the Marsh Boy,” available to free subscribers as well so go ahead and explore around! Fightin’ Poseidon is dispatched every other Tuesday so it doesn’t clog your inbox and it gives you some time to put your takeaways into practice. The next full issue where I talk about the dangers of me writing a newsletter like this hits inboxes on December 16th.

I chose Doomsday Discs for this because they’re fun, unique, and less expensive than many other discs on the market. I’m happy to be on Team Doomsday and honestly, my son and I love the jerseys. When I play, I throw a Chemtrail myself and love this disc. There’s some sick glow-in-the-dark editions around, too, if you can get your hands on one (or a few!) of those. If you want to order for yourself, use code fightinposeidon at checkout for an extra 10% off. And if you want recommendations for sets or discs to try, I’m happy to help. I mean, I’ve only been throwing plastic for a year but I’m way better than I was 12 months ago.

I’ll be sharing some disc golf content on my socials regularly for the duration of this giveaway. If you aren’t already, follow me on Instagram and X to see what’s up.

An up front note on transparency: Full admission that I’m using AI to help me organize and draft posts for this giveaway, but I do not use AI for Fightin’ Poseidon newsletters. Everything else you read in Fightin’ Poseidon comes directly from me. Yar!
