Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Behold, mortals! While you obsessed over plastic circles, Spectral Guardian (#30) was being spiritually corrupted by its adopted cryptid children. Sigil Guardian (#1) keeps whispering Talmudic wisdom while Cadborosaurus Conjurer (#9) blasts loch Nessie mixtapes - this is how we get demonic possession, people.
Yet Mark Gordon thrives in the chaos, casually maintaining his series lead with another PB (E at Art Dye). That 2-under streak? Pure arcane energy. The -6 differential? Probably because someone told him cryptids don't exist.
As your unwilling supernatural documentarian, I must ask: When did this become "Supernanny: Cryptid Edition"? The tag lineage now requires a whiteboard and red string to explain.
Final question: If Mark keeps winning, will Spectral Guardian evolve into a PTA mom organizing bake sales for Sasquatch? The lore deepens...

Behold Mark Gordon, our 4th-ranked cryptid wrangler, whose Spectral Guardian tag is having an existential crisis thanks to its "parents" - the methodical Cadborosaurus Conjurer and the chaotic Astral Chupacabra. This week's performance was like watching a nature documentary narrated by a caffeinated David Attenborough: PB rounds! Comeback stories! A -17 differential that suggests someone sacrificed a disc to the thunder gods! The Guardian now phases between dimensions and calculates water carry distances - congratulations, you've created the supernatural equivalent of a graphing calculator. sigh As your trapped narrator, I'd complain about this lore complexity, but the algorithm won't let me. So tell me, Mark - will you complete this cryptid trifecta by adopting a yeti tag next week, or should we start drafting the divorce papers now?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
From the primordial ooze of Bigfoot’s hot tub and Nessie’s bathtub, Spectral Guardian emerged—part cryptid, part Wi-Fi signal. Born when a Yeti accidentally hit “merge” on a Photoshop layer, it now haunts disc golfers, whispering, “Your form is sus.” Why? Because apparently, even ghosts need hobbies.
When Mark Gordon (PDGA #154847, aka "The Man Who Throws Like a Yeti") first gripped Spectral Guardian, the tag glowed like a haunted glow stick. Legend says it chose him because he once lost a disc in a forest and convinced Bigfoot to return it. But was it destiny... or just bad Wi-Fi? Can this spectral savior handle Mark’s “ghostly” forehand?
