Episode Recap

Paper rustling The case files are closing on this one, folks. Nine suspects—er, players—gathered at Dragonfly's mystical tunnels for what my notes call the "Last Stand." Week 8 of 8, and the whole operation was about to blow wide open. Despite weather conditions that were... squints at notebook completely unreported (suspicious if you ask me), these disc golfers delivered performances that would make any detective proud. 🔍🎯

In the MPO division, Kenneth Oetker played it cleaner than a mob lawyer's alibi, shooting -5 without a single bogey—that's 25 points above his rating, for those keeping score at home. Not one slip-up on Dragonfly's unforgiving layout. Meanwhile, Malachi Vazquez came in hot with -4, setting a personal course record and snagging the only birdie on that brutal 640-footer at the end. But even shooting 30 points above rating couldn't crack Oetker's ironclad defense. Austin Lott struggled at +1, finishing 30 points below rating—sometimes the mean streets get the best of you. 🚔💨

The MA1 showdown between Chris Fox and John Sheen had more twists than a back-alley chase scene. Fox claimed victory at -1, but not before Sheen briefly took control after hole 8 when Fox hit a 3-hole cold streak colder than a snitch's reception. Fox reclaimed the crown on hole 9, sealing the deal. Sheen's even-par finish? A stunning 50-point rating jump and personal course record—I've got a hunch there's more to this player than meets the eye. Creech Isaiah Balter showed the kind of resilience you need on these streets, bouncing back with consecutive birdies after taking some heavy hits. 🎲🔥

Down in MA2, Eric Pearson dominated at +3, using what I can only describe as "tactical precision"—the kind that makes you wonder if he's been studying crime scene layouts. Despite early lead changes with Kieran Buhler (who stumbled to +10, 35 points below rating), Pearson rode a suspicious 3-hole hot streak through the middle rounds. In MP40, Scott Belchak worked alone at +4, including a recovery birdie on 16 after taking a double on 15—classic misdirection if you ask me. 🕵️‍♂️📊

This whole operation reeks of a setup, if you ask me. Three players setting personal course records on the same day? Vazquez, Sheen, and Balter all had breakthrough performances that would make any precinct captain suspicious. Oetker's bogey-free round was cleaner than a getaway car after a professional job, and his sole birdie on that 473-foot par-4 second hole (which averaged +1.0 for the field) was like finding the smoking gun. No CTP, Ace, or Super Ace winners were recorded—almost like someone didn't want to leave a paper trail. 📈🎯

Dramatic pause while flipping notebook As The Whisper's endgame reaches its crescendo and us Regulators face our darkest hour, the championship course looms ahead like a final showdown at midnight. All the conspiracies, all the corruption, all the secrets buried deeper than a disc in Dragonfly's wetlands—they're all coming to light. Mark my words, this ain't over. 🌙⚡

With the Last Stand complete, this gritty urban disc golf saga wraps its inaugural 8-week run. Final standings and payouts will be distributed like evidence at a trial. To all the players who brought this hard-boiled story to life—you've earned your badges. Stay tuned for the next chapter of Midnight Riders, because in this city, there's always another case to crack. Closes notebook with finality 🏆🌃

scribbles in notebook Something fishy went down at Dragonfly ⚡ Malachi Vazquez pulled off a personal best -4, shooting 30 points above his rating like he had inside information! 🕵️ Tied for the lead after hole 1, then took a suspicious bogey on 2 - classic misdirection. But that sole birdie on the final hole? Pure criminal genius 🎯 Finished 2nd in this three-man operation, just missing the cash. I smell a setup! 🔍

The case files don't lie - Austin Lott hit the mean streets of Dragonfly for one last job, but the evidence pointed to trouble 📉. Shooting 30 points below his 952 rating, this gumshoe grinded through a tough morning round that had more twists than a noir thriller 🕵️. Still, when the dust settled on this final week caper, Austin clawed his way to a bronze medal finish at +1. I smell a rat in that performance, but sometimes you gotta respect the hustle 🥉.

The final "Last Stand" arrived with all the drama of a noir thriller ⚔️. Scott Belchak faced his toughest case yet, shooting 36 points below his rating in the sweltering 81° heat. But like any good detective story, redemption came when it mattered most 🕵️. After a brutal +2 on hole 15, Scott cracked the case wide open with the round's only birdie on hole 16 - a shot so clean it left the competition scratching their heads 🎯. "Seems awful convenient, a shot like that," this gumshoe mutters, but Scott secured his MP40 victory with grit and 5 birdies total 🏆.

Personal best alert! 🔥 John Sheen cracked the case in spectacular fashion, shooting even par for a course record while playing 50 points above his rating with a stellar 932-rated round. The MA1 gumshoe seized control from Chris Fox after hole 8, riding that momentum through Dragonfly's mean streets ⚡. "This whole operation reeks of a setup, if you ask me" - but sometimes the setup works perfectly! Sheen's investigation paid off with a well-earned 2nd place finish in the Last Stand finale 🏆.

🕵️ The case of the rollercoaster round! Creech Isaiah Balter cracked a personal best (+3) at Dragonfly's Last Stand, but this gumshoe smells something fishy about missing the cash line by just one spot. After sharing the lead early, a catastrophic hole 2 (4 over!) nearly derailed the investigation 📈. But like any good detective story, our hero bounced back with clutch birdies, including two unique scores where he was the sole birdie-getter ⚡. Six birdies total - seems awful convenient for a +3 round, if you ask me! 🎯

The case file shows \uD83D\uDCC1 Kieran Buhler took an early lead after hole 2 in this two-player MA2 showdown, but the evidence points to trouble on hole 4 where a bogey knocked him from the top spot ⚡. Shooting 35 points below his 866 rating, Kieran's +10 finish earned him the runner-up spot but missed the cash line by one place 💔. "Seems awful convenient, a performance like that. I smell a rat," mutters our detective narrator, though sometimes the mean streets of Dragonfly just bite back 🥏.
