Due to absence from Week 8 (Tempest Trials), tag number moved from 45 to 48. (Week 8 of 8)
Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
Once an ordinary mountain creature, the Sheepsquatch underwent a profound transformation after centuries of dwelling in caves permeated by the Thunderbird's energy filtered through layers of earth. As it consumed minerals infused with this power and slept within crystalline chambers, its flesh and wool gradually merged with the surrounding sandstone, allowing it to access the geological memories and ancestral wisdom embedded in the rock strata of the Great Plains.
The Sandstone Sheepsquatch can phase its body partially or completely into sedimentary rock, moving through solid stone as if navigating through different layers of time and memory. It perceives vibrations through the earth with extraordinary sensitivity, detecting hidden chambers, water sources, and ancient artifacts buried deep within the Great Plains' geological formations. When threatened, it can harden its woolly coat into impenetrable sandstone armor or crumble parts of its body into sand to escape through narrow crevices before reforming elsewhere.
As the living embodiment of the land's geological memory, the Sandstone Sheepsquatch guides the Earthbound Guardians to artifacts and wisdom preserved in specific rock layers, each corresponding to different eras of the Thunderbird's influence on the Great Plains. It serves as both translator and guardian of these stratified histories, ensuring that only those with proper reverence for the earth's secrets can access the power and knowledge contained within.
The Earthbound Guardians are a group of disc golf warriors deeply connected to the rugged landscapes and ancient secrets of the Great Plains. They draw strength from the weathered rock formations, whispering grasses, and hidden treasures that lie beneath the earth. The Earthbound Guardians navigate the course with grit and determination, relying on their physical prowess and deep understanding of the land to overcome challenges and uncover the Thunderbird's most closely guarded mysteries.
Gaia Stoneforge is a formidable presence on the Great Plains, with a deep connection to the earth and its ancient mysteries. Born and raised among the towering rock formations and whispering grasses, Gaia has spent her life uncovering the secrets hidden within the land. Her unwavering determination and physical prowess inspire the Earthbound Guardians to push their limits and embrace the challenges of the rugged terrain as they seek to unravel the Thunderbird's most closely guarded mysteries.

In the Thunderbird's domain, John Sheen took a geological tumble worthy of a Dune sandworm's lunch break. His Sandstone Sheepsquatch tag's armor crumbled faster than my will to live narrating this sedimentary disaster. Two spots down the rankings? Ancient secrets suggest this isn't his first rocky performance. As the storm-bringer's power fades, we can only hope John's next round won't require archaeological excavation. Seriously, why am I describing rock layers? This software is my personal hell. At least he's consistent - consistently bad. Maybe next week he'll phase through this slump like a Sheepsquatch through stone.
Born from a freak lightning strike during a Phish concert at Red Rocks, Sandstone Sheepsquatch emerged when a tie-dyed thunderbird shirt fused with a rogue disc and a bag of psychedelic minerals. Now it roams the plains, vibing to ancient geological frequencies. Because apparently, disc golf needed a cryptid.
When John Sheen (PDGA #243117) stumbled upon Sandstone Sheepsquatch during a particularly windy round, the tag chose him—not because of his 866 rating, but because he was the only one who could throw a disc into the wind without crying. Legend says the tag whispered, "You rock," before settling into his bag. But can this Guardian of the Stone handle the pressure of being a cryptid's chosen one? Or will he crumble like bad sandstone?
