The Sidhe Brought Receipts ๐
adjusts glasses Thirteen players, 79.6ยฐF, clear skies and wind that barely registered at 3.3 mph โ and the league directors officially took the bench as the Sidhe, adjudicating Dragonfly's marsh edges with zero tolerance. The Green Court bit back anyway. Kenneth Oetker walked into that courtroom and shot 48.
An Inquisition With No Bogeys โ๏ธ
Oetker never relinquished the RPA Gold lead, closed bogey-free, and carded a 48-stroke personal-best course record at -10 โ breaking the previous 50 and standing as the event-wide round of the day. His 1008 rating ran 48 points above his 960 player rating, and he punctuated it with a 49-foot Circle 2 bomb on 13. Aaron Prestgard chased from 3rd to 2nd on a back nine three strokes better than his front, closing clean at -7 for a 976-rated personal best (33 above his 943) and a six-stroke swing from Week 3. John Ashworth also set a layout best at -4 (943), while Andrew Yale finished 47 points under his 969 rating at -2.
A Fox In The Blue Court ๐ฆ
Chris Fox broke RAH Blue open at -9, a 997-rated personal best 72 points above his 925 player rating โ and a 14-stroke score swing from Week 3's +5. The rest of the card stacked up behind him: a three-way T2 logjam at -2 between Tongia Vakaafi, Thomas Sautel and Tyler Romney, with Dillon Mueller at +5 on an 846-rated round, 78 below his 924. Sautel's 922 matched his rating exactly, a step back from last week's 973.
A Solo Docket, One Signature โ๏ธ
RAE Red had one entry and no contest. Kellan Brooke posted -1, a 911-rated round 50 points above his 861 player rating and a personal best for this layout โ the kind of swing that deserves witnesses. The docket's open if anyone wants to sign it.
Forty-Four Below, Still A Best ๐ค
RAF Green was also a one-party affair: Zachary Jeffers carded +12, a 771-rated round 44 points below his 815 player rating, with an OB stumble on 16 โ yet it still stands as a personal best for this layout. He logged it on PDGA Live, which is more than most. Challengers welcome.
Four Verdicts, One Reversal ๐ก
RAD White turned into a two-man appeals court: Joel Benavidez led after hole 4, Zack White after 9, Benavidez again after 13, and White after 17 โ four lead changes, no gavel that stuck. White closed it at -1 (911) behind a clean back nine and a six-hole par train from 10โ15. Benavidez led through 15 but faded to +2, an 879-rated round 24 points below his 903.
A Treasury With No Thief ๐ฆ
The Super Ace pot moved from $2,112 to $2,122 with five contributors at $10 apiece, and it remains a split pot. No ace dropped, so the vault rolls forward โ locked, loaded, and completely unclaimed.
Every Coin A Court Filing ๐งพ
This event raised $6.75 for the Dragonfly Course Fund: a $6.50 league registration contribution plus $0.25 from Prestgard's winnings donation. The project sits at $553.78 โ 55% of the $1,000 goal โ with $446.22 still to go.
Three Defenses, One Gavel ๐๏ธ
AllIn mode reshuffled every tag by standings, and Kellan Brooke held the #1 Harsh Citation in The Thicket Overspray for the third straight defense โ Still Standing, Milestone III. Everyone else moved, because that's the deal: miss an event and the reshuffle buries you at the back of the line.
