The Wet Bandits are officially recruiting, and by 'recruiting' I mean the season starts this Monday and the course is already plotting against you. Ten weeks of heist-themed disc golf where every tree is a lookout and every puddle is a stash spot.
The Caper Begins
Welcome to The Wet Bandits, the Monday night league where the Urban Forest at Spanish Fork becomes a living crime scene minus the actual crime. Every player is a bandit. The creek is the getaway route. The dense pines are lookout posts. The muddy banks are stash spots. It's Home Alone energy applied to a disc golf course, and honestly, the Wet Bandits would be proud of anyone who finishes a round without losing a disc to the brush.
This is Week 1, the 'First Splash.' The course is still dripping from morning rain, everyone is optimistic, and a mysterious map is about to appear in the pavilion. You know what that means: a season-long treasure hunt for a 'Golden Disc' that is absolutely, definitely, not a metaphor for friendship. I've seen this story before. I've narrated this story before. I'll be here for all ten episodes.

Course
Urban Forest at Spanish Fork - The Wet Bandits Layout
Flex start means you can be a dawn-patrol bandit or a golden-hour bandit. The course is semi-wooded with mandos, OB walking paths, and enough tight gaps to make you question every disc in your bag. It's flat, rugged, and 'ruggedly charming,' which is course-review code for 'bring shoes you don't care about.'
Two Crews, One Turf
The league splits into two pools, because every good heist needs a stealth team and a chaos team.
- The Ink Syndicate (RPA, RAH, RAD) - Phantom panel transitions between the pines. Masters of stealth and precision. They make birdies look effortless and then deny it happened.
- The Splash Panel (RAE, RAF, RAG) - Kinetic operatives who turn every creek crossing into a splash page. They embrace the mud. They are the mud.
- Both pools play the same Wet Bandits Layout. The difference is whether you hear them coming.
The Weekly Tribute
Prize Money
$5.00 optional
That's a maximum of $12.50 per week to fund the chaos. Think of it as a ransom, except the hostage is your pride and the negotiator is a par 54.
The Ace Pot Situation
Ace Pot Minimum $50 Guaranteed
The ace pot is currently showing $50, and here's the deal: ElevateUT Disc Golf guarantees the pot stays at a $50 minimum. Until player contributions push it above that, the displayed amount will look 'stuck' at $50. That's not a glitch, that's a guarantee. If the pot ends up below $50 at season's end, ElevateUT tops it up, and the top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account (registration-only, not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops). So yes, the pot is real, the guarantee is real, and your chances of acing through a mando gap are still approximately zero.
The Wet Bandits, Officially
Let me be clear about the name: The Wet Bandits. Not the 'Damp Acquaintances.' Not the 'Moistly Inconvenienced.' The Wet Bandits. Every week you'll earn bag tags that rank you in the bandit hierarchy, from Boss down to Lookout. Tags like 'Boss Creek' and 'Storm Tunnel' aren't just numbers, they're your in-season identity. You are a two-word crime archetype with a disc golf bag and a rain jacket. Embrace it.
The season arc is a heist: scattered misfits, a mysterious map, a rival crew called the Dry Thieves, and a Grand Heist finale where the top bandits compete for the Golden Disc. It's absurd. It's theatrical. It's also just plastic flying at chains in a park, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
A Multiverse Breach, Apparently
This league is part of the Holi-Daze anthology, where the holiday multiverse has fractured and dumped every winter character into the wrong genre. The Wet Bandits are the slapstick slot: booby-trapped fairways, vent-crawl gaps, and physical comedy. You're not just playing disc golf, you're surviving a Home Alone sequel where the Wet Bandits are the protagonists. The trees are the booby traps. The mandos are the vents. The basket is the vault.
The Support Crew
A genuine thank you to Birdcage Disc Golf for supporting the league as a local retail partner, and to ElevateUT Disc Golf for running this whole operation as a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to growing the sport. They're the ones building venues, running events, and guaranteeing ace pots. The Wet Bandits may be fictional criminals, but the people making this league happen are doing real work. Appreciate them.
Week 1. The map is fresh, the tags are provisional, and the course is waiting. See you in the vents, bandits.
