Cameron Erupts

The Roc Chips, Cameron Snaps 🔥

dramatic horror sting ...anyway, here's your scorecard.

Week 7 of Ferris Bueller's Way Off descended on Dragonfly Thursday with 16 truants, clear skies hovering around 44°F, and the kind of calm winds (1.1 mph) that make you forget the woods are about to eat your disc alive. This was "Cameron Erupts"—the breaking point episode where the vintage Roc gets damaged, Cameron's meltdown echoes through the fairways, and Rooney closes in. Dannion Nelson delivered a bogey-free 1013-rated clinic that would make Ferris jealous, while John Ashworth aced hole 10 without buying into the ace pot, proving that sometimes the real horror is what you do to yourself. 🎬 The Skip Day Syndicate had no idea what was coming.

One Man's Bogey-Free Heist

Dannion Nelson pulled off the ultimate skip-day crime: a wire-to-wire bogey-free victory at -7, posting a 1013 round rating 61 points above his 952 rating—the kind of statistical robbery that makes you question if he actually played the same Dragonfly the rest of us know. He seized control on hole 6 when Kenneth Oetker stumbled into a bogey, then never looked back. The drama came down to hole 18, where Dannion carded a clutch birdie to secure the outright win and avoid a tie with Kenneth at -6. 🏆 No double bogeys. No bogeys. Not even a sympathy bogey. Just 18 holes of surgical precision through Dragonfly's tree-choked tunnels while the rest of RPA watched their scorecards bleed. The heist was executed flawlessly, the getaway clean, and the leaderboard never stood a chance.

The Fakeout Foreman Gets Found Out

Kenneth Oetker posted his second consecutive strong performance, finishing 2nd at -6 with a 1003-rated round (38 points above rating)—back-to-back weeks over 1000, proving last week's 1002 wasn't a fluke. But the real story? The bubble boys: Tongia Vakaafi and Houston Humpherys both carded -5 rounds (993-rated for Tongia, 29 above his 964 rating), tied for 3rd place in a finish so tight you could hear the chains rattle in unison. 🎯 Then there's Austin Lott, holder of the #1 bag tag—the Fakeout Foreman, master of misdirection and woodland decoys—who opened as co-leader on hole 1 with a birdie, then watched his round implode into a +3 finish (915-rated, 47 points below rating), tumbling from 1st to 8th place. The Foreman's entire identity is built on creating believable lies and false trails, but you can't fake your way off a scorecard that reads +3. Even his signature decoy scorecards couldn't hide this collapse.

From Third to First: A Truant's Redemption

In RAD, Eric Pearson scripted the classic skip-day comeback arc: floundering through the front nine, then roaring back with an 8-stroke improvement on the back to climb from 3rd place all the way to 1st. He finished +2 with a 925 round rating, proving that life moves pretty fast at Dragonfly—but if you nail the back nine, you can still pull off the heist. 🚗 The lead changed hands like a hot disc: Parker Opfar held it early, Chris Fox grabbed it mid-round, then Eric snatched it late with his surge. Chris Fox, last week's RAD champion, posted +4 (905-rated, 19 below rating) and slipped to 3rd place—but walked away with the division's top skins haul at $25 (10 skins at $2.50 each), proving that sometimes the real prize is cold hard cash, not the podium.

Three Divisions, Three Coronations, Zero Drama

Kelly Hall ran wire-to-wire in RAE at +10 (846-rated, 5 below rating), holding the division from start to finish with the kind of solo dominance that makes you wonder if anyone else showed up. Craig Bennett did the same in RAH, posting +3 (915-rated, 15 above rating) and locking down 1st place from hole 1—his secret weapon? Two massive Circle 2 putts that probably traveled farther than some players' drives. 🎯 And in RAG, Colton Bunker debuted with a +15 finish (797-rated) while collecting an achievement buffet: First Time Player, Series Competitor, Division Winner, First Skin, and Charitable Champion—all in one round. The arena's newest recruit arrived, saw the woods, and somehow walked away with a trophy and a tax-deductible donation. Welcome to the chaos, kid.

The Ace That Paid Nothing 🤦

John Ashworth threaded a 250-foot laser on hole 10, watched the disc slam chains for an ace, then realized he hadn't bought into the ace pot. 💸 The kind of tragedy that makes you want to rewind the VHS tape and try again. He still posted his personal best round at +2 (925-rated, 2 above rating), climbing from last week's +8 finish with the momentum of someone who just learned a very expensive lesson. Meanwhile, three players posted 20+ points above rating: Dannion's +61 led the way, followed by Kenneth's +38 and Tongia's +29—statistical outliers so extreme they make the rest of the field look like they were playing a different course. 📊 Five players posted bogey-free back nines (Dannion, Kenneth, Tongia, Houston, and Brian Hansen), and solo-birdie heroes emerged on holes 5 (Brian Hansen), 12 (Tongia), and 13 (Kenneth)—proving that sometimes the tightest gaps belong to the bravest throwers.

The Heist Payout Window Is Open

$99 changed hands across three cards and 11 players, with the Skip Day Syndicate's cash stash redistributed like stolen goods at the end of a caper. 💰 Chris Fox led the haul with $25 (10 skins at $2.50 each), proving that even when you don't win the division, you can still rob the bank. Tongia Vakaafi dominated with 16 skins for $24, including a Sloppy Skin achievement on hole 1—carding a bogey and still cashing because no one else could match even that. Ugly pays, folks. Kenneth Oetker collected 14 skins for $21, and Brian Hansen scooped a 7-skin carryover on hole 15, banking $17.50 in one glorious moment. The skins game at Dragonfly is a survival arena where every birdie is a robbery and every carryover is a heist waiting to happen. Learn the playbook if you want to survive.

Misdirection Only Works If You're Winning

Austin Lott entered Week 7 holding the #1 bag tag—Fakeout Foreman, the weaver of woodland illusions, architect of operational security, master of the believable decoy. His tag identity is built on creating false trails, forged scorecards, and phantom sounds to keep pursuers off-balance. 🎭 He defended the tag this week, technically, because no one directly challenged him—but the defense came at a brutal cost. Austin opened as co-leader on hole 1 with a birdie, then watched his round collapse into a +3 finish (915-rated, 47 points below his 962 rating), tumbling from 1st place to 8th. The Foreman's entire playbook—decoys, misdirection, fake scorecards—couldn't hide the reality of his own scorecard. He earned a Statistician badge for tracking throws on PDGA Live and a Circle 2 Sniper badge for draining 5 C2 putts, proving he had the data and the putting touch—but the fairways betrayed him. Meanwhile, Dannion Nelson's wire-to-wire dominance at -7 looms large: the #1 tag holder just posted his worst round of the season while the division champion went bogey-free. The throne wobbles. Two weeks remain.

Two Statisticians, Two Very Different Days

Both Kenneth Oetker and Austin Lott earned Statistician achievements this week, tracking their throws on PDGA Live and unlocking the richer narratives we all crave. 📊 The data commitment was identical—but the outcomes? Kenneth posted a 1003-rated round (38 above rating) while Austin posted a 915 (47 below rating). Same dedication to logging stats, wildly different results. Austin also earned a Circle 2 Sniper badge for draining 5 C2 putts, proving that even when the fairways betray you, you can still cash from distance. sighs in direct-to-VHS quality More players should track their throws—PDGA Live is the source for throw-by-throw stats, NOT UDisc. The more data we have, the better the stories get. And honestly? Watching players bomb C2 putts while their scorecards bleed is the kind of tragic drama this digital prison was built for.

Two Weeks Until Rooney Catches Up

Week 7 of 9 is in the books, and the countdown clock is ticking. 🕐 Next week: "Tunnel Gauntlet"—Dragonfly's infamous tunnel shot on hole 17, where only a perfectly executed line survives, and Rooney is visible through the trees, sprinting toward the fairway. The week after? "Dragonfly Legends"—the finale, where the skip-day heist either becomes lore or ends in catastrophe. Dannion Nelson's bogey-free dominance could trigger a tag challenge scenario, and Austin Lott's collapse means the #1 tag is vulnerable for the first time all season. The vintage Roc is chipped. Cameron's meltdown has consequences. And somewhere in those tree-lined fairways, Principal Rooney is closing in, vowing that next time will be different. The sprint home begins. Life moves pretty fast at Dragonfly—miss the fairway, and you might miss everything. 🎬
