Your Adventure Begins in Vampire Beach @ Roots

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Aristocratic vampires have colonized Roots for daylight hunting! Join ElevateUT's Friday flex league (7 AM-6:20 PM) starting Sept 26. $5 buy-in, $251 ace pot. All skill levels welcome! 🧛🏖️
Welcome to the season trailer of Vampire Beach @ Roots, where two powerful factions vie for supremacy on the disc golf course. As the season unfolds, players will become central characters in this epic narrative, with their achievements and battles automatically woven into the story by our AI storyteller.
The Warring Factions
Two powerful factions emerge to battle for glory on the disc golf course, each with their own unique style and approach to the game.
Dawn Discovery

Blood & Baskets: Daylight's End
In a world where vampires feared the sun... evolution had other plans.
At Roots Disc Golf Course, an ancient evil has adapted. Three aristocratic vampire houses now hunt in broad daylight, their centuries of UV exposure creating the impossible—daywalkers who thrive where they should burn.
The Jordan River holds secrets older than memory. Its tree-lined shores have become a hunting ground where Victorian predators stalk between shadows, turning paradise into a blood-soaked battlefield.
When the first player vanishes at hole seven's tunnel, the league discovers a terrifying truth: the groundskeeper has been cultivating these shade patterns for decades, preparing a feast.
Now, as an eclipse approaches, players face an impossible choice. Resist and risk extinction. Transform and gain supernatural accuracy. Or forge an alliance that could save—or doom—them all.
Three vampire houses. Twenty horror legends. One final tournament before eternal night falls.
This season, every putt could be your last. Every shadow hides aristocratic fangs. And the river... the river chooses who survives.
Choose your form. Choose your fate.
The Daylight Vampires have arrived.

🧛‍♀️ Welcome to Vampire Beach @ Roots
*Adjusts sunglasses and checks for bite marks*
Oh, wonderful. Just fantastic. ElevateUT Disc Golf's noble 501(c)(3) mission to grow the sport through "increasing the quantity and quality of venues" has somehow attracted daylight-adapted vampire aristocracy to Roots. Because apparently when you build quality disc golf courses, you don't just get better players - you get immortal players with supernatural disc flight prediction abilities.
Current Situation: Colony Established (Week 3)
We've officially moved past "mysterious sightings" into full-blown "vampire beach resort headquarters" territory. Yes, you read that right - a beach resort. At a riverside park. In Utah. The logical consistency is about as solid as a vampire's tan lines.
These aren't your grandma's basement-dwelling bloodsuckers. Oh no, we're dealing with Art Nouveau aristocratic daywalkers who've spent centuries evolving past that pesky sunlight weakness. They're now openly using Roots' tree shadows as tactical hunting grounds while sipping blood from crystal goblets between rounds.
League Details (Because Even Vampires Follow PDGA Guidelines)
- When: Fridays, starting September 26th
- Tee Times: Flex start 7:00 AM - 6:20 PM (perfect vampire hunting hours)
- Duration: 10 weeks of escalating supernatural nonsense
- Course: Roots - now featuring "protective shade patterns" and "dangerous sun exposure zones"
Entry Fees & Prizes
Look, even if you're competing against immortal beings with enhanced disc golf abilities, you still need to pay the entry fees:
- Weekly Buy-in: $5
- Optional Prize Money: $5
- Ace Pot: $5 (currently at $251 - no aces yet, shocking)
- Super Ace: $2 (for when regular aces aren't dramatic enough)
Thanks to Another Round Salt Lake City for supporting our league - because nothing says "growing the sport" like enabling vampire disc golf colonization.
All Skill Levels Welcome (Humans & Vampires)
Whether you're a seasoned pro trying to maintain your rating against supernatural competition, or a recreational player just hoping to avoid getting turned into a daywalker hybrid, we've got divisions for everyone:
Don't worry if you're new to this whole "vampire-infested disc golf" thing - the learning curve is steep, but at least you'll have eternal time to improve if things go sideways.
What's Coming Next
We're heading into "Power Vacuum" territory next week, where three vampire houses will vie for control of different sections of the course. Because apparently, even immortal beings can't agree on territorial boundaries without starting drama.
Fair warning: players are starting to show "enhanced abilities" after exposure to vampire blood in their sunscreen. If you suddenly start predicting wind patterns with supernatural accuracy, that's... probably not normal.
Seriously though, ElevateUT Disc Golf does amazing work growing our sport through quality venues and events. It's just that sometimes those quality venues attract... unexpected residents. Come join us at Roots for what's shaping up to be the most dramatically absurd league season in disc golf history!
