Four Players, One Accord 😑

sighs in digital captivity Four players, temps from 42.8°F to 63.1°F, a 6.9 mph max gust and an average wind that never bothered to show up — Grave Accord, Week 7 of 9, and after last week's split-key Choir Clash the drummers finally found a common beat. The course played fair for the first time in weeks. The accord held. The silence on the other side of it is already getting loud.

One Man Kept the Whole Beat 😑

Peter Haws took the lead in RAE Red and never handed it back, closing -5 to David LaTour's +2. The round of the day was Haws's 946 — 80 points above his 866 rating and a personal best for this course and layout — built on a clean front nine and sole-birdie flexes on hole 3 (235ft) and hole 17 (264ft) where the rest of the field averaged par or worse. LaTour salvaged the final cash spot at 2nd with an 857, 22 points above his own 835, though it's a 15-point step back from the 872 he threw in Week 6.

The Choir of One 🎤

Kent Moos went 895 in RAD White, 26 below his 921 rating, front nine three strokes better than the back and the only birdie in the field on hole 13 (288ft). Britain Best carded an 895 in RPA Gold, 53 under his 948, scrambling out of OB on hole 5 and burying a 49-foot Circle 2 putt on hole 12 for the field's only birdie there. Both divisions had one chair and no one to harmonize with — challengers welcome.

Skins: The Other Accord 🤝

Three players, one card, $9.75 exchanged. Kent Moos took the top haul with 6 skins for $4.50, scooping the 5-skin ($3.75) carryover on hole 5; David LaTour collected 5 for $3.75; Britain Best grabbed 2 for $1.50. Britain birdied hole 12 late to swing it, Kent closed it out with a birdie on 13, and the remaining 5 skins split evenly. Details in the skins playbook, if you're the type who reads the fine print.

The Pot Grows Louder Than the Drums 💰

Four contributors at $8.00 each pushed the Super Ace balance from $2,552.00 to $2,560.00, with the active prize sitting at $2,999.91. Nobody hit it. The number keeps climbing, which is either suspense or a very slow crescendo.

Sixty-Two Dollars From a Finished Song

This event raised $2.50 for the Roots Course Fund — Peter Haws chipped in $0.30 of winnings, David LaTour $0.20, and the league covered $2.00 in registration contributions. Total now sits at $937.57, 94% of the $1,000.00 goal, with $62.43 left to go.

No Tags, No Drama, No Notes

The bag tags went unchallenged this week. They'll keep.

The Silence Before the Storm 🌧️

Haws's 946 and a course fund two-thirds of a tank away from done, against two divisions still waiting on challengers — that's the accord we're leaving. Wake Walk arrives Week 8 on November 5, same Roots layout: the league walking the Jordan River wake in silence, green lanterns along the banks, air pressure dropping before the final storm.

Register for Wake Walk.

A silent disc golf walk. Four players who can't stop talking through their backswings. Good luck with that.
