The first Hex Mark was burned into the soul of the Deadlands' original survivor - a gunslinger who cheated death at the gallows and was cursed to carry the frontier's mark forever. Now, every competitor who survives a culling receives this mark, binding them to the cursed lands.

Season Story

narrated by Flippy
Played Week 9 #3 #1

Kevin Koga posted an 888-rated round—+51 over his 837 PDGA rating—and carved 5.4 strokes off the field average, hauling the Hex Mark from rank 3 to 1. The shaft's closing fast, but Koga's not just digging; he's rekindling the cursed sigil's fire. The snakes on that mark are purring again, and the Deadlands dust can't bury what keeps rising.

Played Week 8 #2 #3

adjusts headset The Hex Mark's glow flickered this week. Kevin Koga posted an 847-rated round—just +10 over his 837 PDGA rating—and dropped from rank 2 to 3 at The Burning Vein. The snakes on that sigil are hissing, not purring, after a 53 that carved only 1.4 strokes off the field average. The curse doesn't forgive stagnation, and the shaft's closing faster than Koga's C2 putts.

Played Week 6 #4 #2

Kevin Koga posted an 889-rated round—52 over his 837 PDGA rating—and carved 3.8 strokes off the field average, hauling the Hex Mark from rank 4 to 2. That's not a dig; that's a shaft collapse in the other direction. The curse isn't tarnishing anymore; it's forging something darker, and the snakes on that sigil are starting to purr.

Played Week 7 #5 #4

adjusts headset The snakes on the Hex Mark are coiling tight around rank 4 after Kevin Koga posted an 866-rated round—+31 over his 835 PDGA rating—and carved 1.4 strokes off the field average at The Burning Vein. Forget the one-spot climb; the real story is the 4.3-stroke gap between his score and his personal baseline. The curse isn't rusting; it's refining. The shaft keeps closing, and Koga keeps digging deeper.

Played Week 5 #2 #5

adjusts headset The shaft giveth and the shaft taketh away. Kevin Koga's Hex Mark slipped from rank 2 to 5 after a 799-rated round—36 points below his 835 PDGA rating—and the snakes on that sigil are starting to hiss. A +1.6 versus the field sounds fine until you remember he's the one who posted an 897-rated heat wave two weeks ago. The curse isn't a plot point this week; it's a performance review.

Played Week 4 #2 #2

adjusts headset Kevin Koga's Hex Mark didn't budge from rank 2, but that's not the story—the story is the +22 over his 832 rating (854 rated) on a layout that ate the field alive. Two and a half strokes better than the average, three and a third below his own personal baseline, and the snakes on that sigil are coiling tight around the Foreman's seam like they own the ghost rock. The Deadlands' gravity didn't pull this week; Koga dug deeper and held the vein. Another week, another ranking that proves the curse is just a plot point for the rest of the shaft.

Played Week 3 #2 #2

Kevin Koga's Hex Mark didn't just hold at rank 2—it deepened. A +65 over his 832 rating (897 rated!) on a 54 that was 5.4 better than the field and 8 strokes below his personal average. The snakes on that sigil aren't circling; they're coiling around the Foreman's seam like they own it. The Deadlands' gravity may pull eventually, but this week, the shaft belongs to him. Another round, another ranking that proves the curse is just a plot point for the rest of you.

Played Week 2 #10 #2

adjusts headset The Hex Mark isn't a curse after all—Kevin Koga just turned his luck around with an eight-rank surge from 10 to 2, outmining half the shaft in one round. No rating data to wave around, but the scorecard doesn't lie: that's a claim on the Foreman's elite seam. The snakes on the sigil are hissing something else now—maybe 'respect the climb.' Another week, another ranking shuffle scripted by no one but the leaderboard itself.
