Ten Wights and a Throne ๐
adjusts headset Ten players signed in for Bone Regent at Mehraban (Baby Bottoms), Week 8 of 9, and the marsh spent the afternoon doing what marshes do โ swallowing errant drives and offering nothing back but reeds and quiet judgment. The arc says a regent emerges to lead the charge against the Phragmites. The scorecards say the charge was mostly uphill, through a corridor the width of a hallway, at a course that punishes ambition with a wall of invasive botany. The throne is warm. The rough is warmer.
Never Relinquished, Never Rattled
Christopher Hamby never gave up the RAE Red lead, and nobody in the division made him sweat it โ a wire-to-wire -8 on a 957-rated round, 91 points above his 866 rating. That is a player stepping into the marsh and walking out with the deed. Brian Bowling took second at -1 and finished on the wrong side of the cash bubble, which stings given he rode a ten-hole par train (1-10) and a clean front nine just to get there. Timothy Scholle closed at even. Hamby's run of four straight ended through hole 9, which is the only thing that slowed him down all afternoon.
Hole Nine Settles the Crown
Three players traded the RAF Green lead before Kaleb Cooper took it from William Fetzer through hole 9 and refused to return it, closing -4 on an 898-rated round โ 104 above his 794 rating, with a clean back nine to seal it. Fetzer had grabbed the lead through hole 4 after Cooper and Shane Cooper shared it through 3, and Cooper pulled even again through 7 before the ninth decided it. Fetzer finished -1 at 854, 34 above his 820. Shane Cooper carded +3 but bounced back with birdies on 6 and 8, the kind of grit that doesn't show up in the final column.
Two Regents, Three Handoffs
Nicholas Scott and Chris Norman spent RPA Gold playing hot potato with the lead โ Scott took it through 3, Norman through 10, Scott reclaimed it through 12 when Norman went over par, and Scott sealed it through 16 to close -7 on a 942-rated round. Norman finished -5 at 913, 41 below his 954 rating, and landed just outside the cash line while Scott locked the final cash spot. Both players' front nines were three strokes better than their backs, which is the quiet story of a marsh that gets meaner the longer you're in it.
Empty Thrones, Open Seats
Two solo divisions, zero witnesses: Blaine Callahan shot +12 at 664 in RAG Purple, with a 2-under stretch after a rough hole 8 the only bright patch in a cold finish, while Dillon Mueller went -1 at 854 in RAH Blue, 69 below his 923 rating, front nine five strokes better than the back. Both seats are open. The marsh would love the company.
The Round of the Day, Unshared
Hamby's 957 was the event-wide round of the day, and nobody came within a whiff of it. The other field-level beat: Fetzer aced hole 18 โ and did it without an ace-pot ticket, which is the disc golf equivalent of hitting the lottery with a losing scratch-off.
The Pot Grows, the Reeds Wait
One skins card, four players, $36.00 exchanged. Hamby took 15 skins for $30.00, including a seven-skin carryover scoop on hole 7 worth $14.00; Norman added 3 for $6.00, and Mueller and Scott were shut out. Fetzer's hole-18 ace came without a ticket, so the seasonal ace pot swells to $298.41 with Malachi Vazquez still holding the only share. The Super Ace sits at $2,999.91 across 9 contributors, waiting for someone to actually buy in. The skins playbook explains the math; the marsh explains the heartbreak.
Five Dollars Against the Phragmites
This event raised $5.00 through registration contributions for the Mehraban (Baby Bottoms) Course Fund, bringing the total to $20.50 โ 2% of a $1,000.00 goal, with $979.50 to go. Five dollars per player against an invasive reed that has been winning for decades. The reeds are not worried yet.
Two Thrones, Two Keepers
In Pool A, Nicholas Scott posted a 942 exactly on his 942 rating and climbed from tag #11 to #1, so the Accord Scroll โ the living ledger that inscribes every bogey as a contractual breach โ now follows him. In Pool B, Christopher Hamby holds #1 as Hex Proctor, having played. Under AllIn, every tag reshuffled: nobody defended, everyone moved, and the ledger recorded it all in neon green.
The Marsh Takes It Back
One week left. Marsh Reclaims closes the season at Mehraban (Baby Bottoms), where the Bone Regent and the stubborn undead stand victorious among trampled reeds, having outlasted competition and elements. The thread to watch: an ace pot that grew instead of paying out, a tag throne that changed hands, and a marsh that has spent nine weeks proving it does not care about any of it. 
Registration is open at the finale sign-up, and the theme is, once again, that the land is reclaiming itself from people who threw plastic at it for fun.
