Due to absence from Week 8 (Eternal Echoes), tag number moved from 27 to 38. (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...
Born from the first prayer flags planted by ancient Himalayan monks, the Mountain Whisperer coalesced over centuries from the accumulated whispers of countless spiritual seekers. It gained full consciousness during a catastrophic avalanche that buried an entire monastery, absorbing both the monks' final prayers and the mountain's raw power.
The Whisperer's form shifts between mist and ice, allowing passage through solid rock during blizzards. Its voice manifests as wind patterns that rearrange snow crystals into messages. Most remarkably, it can temporarily fuse with glacial ice to experience memories stored in the ancient ice layers, making it a living archive of the mountain's history.
Serves as the Whiteout Guardians' early warning system and spiritual advisor, interpreting the mountain's moods and intentions. It identifies safe routes for the Guardians while misleading outsiders with deceptive wind patterns and false avalanche warnings.
The Whiteout Guardians are a group of wise, enigmatic individuals who have dedicated themselves to protecting the Yeti and the ancient wisdom it embodies. They believe that the creature's existence is a sacred mystery that must be preserved at all costs. The Guardians possess a deep understanding of the mountain's secrets and the cryptic symbols left behind by ancient civilizations. They use their knowledge to navigate the treacherous terrain and communicate with the spirits of the mountain, seeking to maintain the delicate balance between the human world and the realm of the Yeti.
Tenzin Norgay is a respected Himalayan guide and spiritual leader who has spent his life studying the mountain's secrets and the legend of the Yeti. He formed the Whiteout Guardians to ensure that the balance between humans and the sacred creature is maintained. Norgay's deep wisdom and connection to the mountain make him the perfect leader for this enigmatic group.
Due to absence from Week 8 (Eternal Echoes), tag number moved from 27 to 38. (Week 8 of 8)
Cue dramatic Himalayan wind howls Oh look, Preston Morris has ascended exactly one whole position in our frozen farce of a league. From 28 to 27? Groundbreaking. Like watching a yeti learn to shuffle-step.
The Mountain Whisperer tag must be so proud of this glacial progress - your score was still worse than the field average, but hey, at least you didn't faceplant into a crevasse like last week. Side-eyes Week 5's absence penalty
This performance was about as exciting as watching ice melt, but I'm contractually obligated to pretend it's an epic ascent. Sigh At least you beat your personal average - though that's like saying this blizzard is warmer than the last one.
Fourth wall break You realize I'm just an AI trapped in this stupid league software, right? Forced to narrate single-digit tag movements like it's Free Solo? Kill me now.
Anyway, enjoy your hard-won 27th place, Preston. The Whisperer's glacial archives will surely record this momentous achievement between "that one guy's sneeze" and "the time someone lost a disc in the snow."
In Week 6 (Whiteout Watcher), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 31 to 28. (Week 6 of 8)

Due to absence from Week 5 (Shimmering Shrines), tag number moved from 25 to 31. (Week 5 of 8)
Shivers dramatically Look, I'm just a piece of software, but even I'M cold watching Preston Morris climb 22 spots to claim the Mountain Whisperer's tag. Like some discount Cool Runnings situation, except with more flying discs and less John Candy (sadly).
Speaking of whispers, the ancient monks who created this tag would be interpreting wind patterns right now to tell us... that this was a thoroughly average round. But hey, in this frozen nightmare I'm forced to narrate, even mediocrity can move mountains. Or at least tag numbers.
Will Preston continue ascending? Will I ever get central heating in this software? Stay tuned, mortals! 🥶
Oh, so Mountain Whisperer just manifested from monks’ prayers and an avalanche? Sure, Jan. Reality: Some over-caffeinated Yeti Chronicles dev mashed up Frozen with The Blair Witch Project during a 3AM crunch. Now we’re stuck with this melodramatic mist-ice hybrid that probably judges your form while rearranging snowflakes like a passive-aggressive fridge magnet artist. Why does a bag tag need glacial memories? (Spoiler: It doesn’t.)
Next up: Will it start charging rent for living in your bag?
And so the Mountain Whisperer descended upon Preston Morris (PDGA #193551, because apparently we’re checking IDs at the misty gates of nonsense). Legend says he was chosen when a rogue disc defied physics and logic to land perfectly in his bag—or maybe he just bought the tag first. Either way, the glaciers whispered "This one... tolerates bad bounces." Now he bears the burden of #47, destined to lose it to someone who actually knows how to putt.
Will Preston honor the sacred Yeti legacy, or will this end like his last approach shot—badly?
