Fuath Protector
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...
According to ancient texts guarded by Angus MacTavish's ancestors, the first Fuath Protector was bound to service after a legendary guardian druid defeated it in magical combat, channeling its power into protecting the loch's sacred sites - a tradition the modern Guardians continue.
Manifests as swirling, semi-corporeal water infused with dark green vegetation that can solidify portions of its form. Emits an eerie green glow and carries the scent of stagnant loch water. Moves with unnatural fluidity, able to pass through narrow crevices and reform instantly.
Serves as both guardian and early warning system, patrolling the loch's perimeter and sacred sites while alerting the Guardians to intruders or disturbances through haunting cries and water disturbances.
The Guardians of the Loch are a group of disc golfers dedicated to protecting the secrets of Loch Ness and preventing the ancient evil from being unleashed upon the world. They believe in the sanctity of the loch and its creatures, and seek to maintain the delicate balance between the natural and supernatural realms. The Guardians are known for their unwavering loyalty, their deep connection to the land, and their mastery of the unique challenges posed by the Highland courses.
Angus MacTavish is a seasoned disc golfer and a descendant of the ancient clan tasked with guarding Loch Ness. He has spent his life studying the loch's history and legends, honing his skills on the challenging Highland courses. Angus is a man of few words, but his wisdom and experience make him a respected leader among the Guardians. He believes in the importance of tradition, honor, and the power of the natural world.

Origin of Fuath Protector #24:
Born when a Scottish druid (who definitely didn’t just eat bad haggis) "bested" a water spirit in combat—or, as the legends claim, tripped over a root and accidentally yeeted his staff into the loch. Now this soggy, semi-corporeal nightmare haunts the course like a disgruntled Airbnb guest who won’t stop leaving 1-star Yelp reviews about the "lack of spectral amenities."

How Jay Shock Became the First Bearer of Fuath Protector #24:
The loch’s mist parted like a bad dye job as Jay (PDGA #187103, aka "The Man Who Putts Like He’s Paying Rent") stumbled upon the cursed tag mid-round. Was it fate? Or just his 903-rated gravitational pull toward drama? The Fuath Protector, sensing a kindred spirit who also hates losing discs to water hazards, latched on. Now they’re stuck together—like a soggy sock after a shanked drive.
Can a man who regularly three-putts truly protect anything?
