adjusts glasses Seven souls signed the ledger for Week 2 of Grave Roots, and the turf immediately started coughing up evidence — welcome back to the booth, where the excavation is officially live. 🪦

Ball Golf Ghosts Haunt The Turf 😑

The Redwood Treaty is signed, sealed, and buried, which means the digging has begun. Seven players teed off under clear skies and a suspiciously polite 4.0 mph breeze — a far cry from Week 1's 13.8 mph chaos — and somewhere on hole 4, the 1980s ball golf era pushed its old markers up through the turf to watch. Small field, big excavation. If you weren't here, the choir of the dead had plenty of room to hum. 🕳️

A Cannonball Into The Death Curse 😑

Peter Haws arrived in this series and skipped the polite entry entirely — first place in RAE at -3, first place event-wide, wire-to-wire, never relinquishing the lead. The 924-rated round landed a full 61 points above his 863 rating, round of the day in the division. He was the sole birdie on hole 4 (Par 3, 220ft) and hole 10 (Par 3, 226ft) — the only player under par on both. Meanwhile, Week 1 champ David LaTour slid to 4th at +7, a 797-rated round sitting 38 points below his rating, with his cold streak finally snapping after hole 14 and his Super Ace look on 16 dying at one over. Nicholas Stosiek took 3rd at +4, posting a 835-rated round — 37 below his 872 — and finished exactly on the cash bubble. The throne changed hands in one round. 💥

The Ink Wraith Watches From The Water 😑

Britain Best took RPA at -7, first place event-wide, wire-to-wire, with a 975-rated round — 28 points above his 947 rating. A clean front nine, zero bogeys, and then hole 12's OB detour, where the river reached for him and got a par instead. His hot streak ran holes 13 through 15 before it expired. Compare that to Week 1: 3rd place, 891-rated, 56 below rating. That's an 84-point rating jump in seven days — the kind of swing the Wraith notices. 🌊

The Par Train Rolls Through The Graveyard 😑

Kent Moos took RAD at -1, second place event-wide, with an 899-rated round — 22 points below his 921 rating — riding a par train straight through holes 4 to 8 with the door locked. Same result as Week 1 (RAD round of the day, 2nd event-wide), but the rating slid 42 points from his opening 941. The rhythm's still there. The echo's just quieter. 🚂

Eighty-Five Points Above The Stones 😑

Stephen Marks took RAF at +1, second place event-wide, on an 873-rated round — 85 points above his 788 rating, round of the day in the division. He was the sole birdie on hole 1 (Par 3, 345ft) and hole 17 (Par 3, 264ft); nobody else got under par on either. And it still wasn't enough — 2nd place, right on the cash bubble, last cash was 1st. Shane Cooper finished 5th at +9, a 772-rated round 29 below his 801, his cold streak closing out after holes 10 through 12. 🪨

The Bone Percussion Eats Everyone Alive 😑

Four holes, four survivors: Peter Haws alone under par on 4 and 10, Stephen Marks alone under par on 1 and 17. That's the entire field beaten by one man per hole. Round of the day went to Peter at 924 in RAE and Britain at 975 in RPA. The below-rating ledger was brutal — David LaTour at -38, Nicholas Stosiek at -37, Shane Cooper at -29, Kent Moos at -22 — the kind of week where the Accords collect interest. And the Super Ace pot stood at $1,798 before this event. Seven players. No aces. The chains said nothing. 🦴

The Pot Grows, The Chains Stay Silent 😑

The Super Ace Pot is alive and getting heavier: seven contributors added $14.00 this week, pushing the balance from $1,798.00 to $1,812.00. Set to split if someone finally hits it. David LaTour had the best look at it and carded one over on the Super Ace hole (16) — the pot's door closed on his fingers. Somewhere in the booth, I felt that. 💰

A Dozen Skins And A River Carryover 😑

One skins card, three players, $27.00 exchanged at $1.50 a skin. Britain Best cleaned up with 12 skins for $18.00, including a 5-skin carryover scoop on hole 9 — the river hole, naturally. Kent Moos grabbed 5 skins for $7.50 with a late birdie on 17. David LaTour salvaged 1 skin for $1.50, closing hole 18 with a par. Details in the skins playbook if you want to learn how the scoop works. 🎯

Eighty Dollars From Done 😑

This event raised $3.95 for the Roots Course Fund — Peter Haws donated $0.45 of his winnings, and the league added $3.50 via registration contributions. The project now sits at $920.11 of its $1,000.00 goal: 92% complete, $79.89 from the finish line. Chip in at the Roots fund page and let's close this out before the river takes the rest. 🏗️

The Wraith Opens A New Tab 😑

Two pools, two #1 tags, full reshuffle in AllIn mode — every tag redistributed on standings, no exceptions. In The Silent Wake, Britain Best climbed from #3 to #1 and claimed the Ink Wraith, posting a 47 (three under field average, seven below personal average) with that 975 rating. The tag's own ledger grows heavier every time it changes hands, and it now sits with a player who just fired +28 over rating. In The Bone Percussion, Peter Haws holds #1 with the Ink Avalanche. The Wraith documents what the Accords do to the people who sign — and it gets more solid the closer a player drifts to a curse threshold. Britain's tab is open, and it's dripping. 🖋️

Scores Drift Downstream Like Leaves 😑

Week 3 is River Drums, back at Roots, and the Jordan River is already swelling — the wake gets choppy, the rushing water sets the tempo, and players have to find their rhythm inside the noise. The plot says it plain: the rhythm accelerates, and scores drift downstream like leaves in the current.

Because nothing says "fun park league" like naming a disc golf event after a river that's actively trying to eat your plastic. 🌊
