The Queen has waited nine weeks. The snowline has held. And now, at last, the Mantle is up for grabs at Two Time Teton — the finale of the Winter Court's only proving ground.
The Mantle Is Claimed
Welcome to Week 9. The final episode. The treaty is sealed in sweat and ice tonight, and the Queen — who has been watching from the snowline since September — is done waiting. This is the last Friday you can stand on a tee pad at Two Time Teton and pretend you're just here for the exercise. The mantle is unclaimed. The iron is still cold. The choice is yours.
For the uninitiated: Two Time Tetons is a nine-hole neighborhood course played twice for eighteen. The first loop is the offer — a question asked in silence. The second loop is the mantle settling in — the part where your putter stops listening and your hands remember what cold actually means. Expect putters and midranges, an island green on Hole 5 that will absolutely betray you, and a triple-mandatory gate on Hole 8 that requires a precision you may not have packed. It's short. It's technical. It's the Queen's ground.
- Hole 5: island green. High stakes, low margin for error.
- Hole 8: triple-mandatory gate. Precision or regret.
- Elevated baskets and sloped greens — missed putts roll away like they're embarrassed for you.
- Views of the Oquirrh snowline the whole way. The Queen is watching.

Choose your own card, pick your tee time, and walk the loops at your own pace. The Queen doesn't micromanage. She just judges.
Iron Legion & Frost Sovereigns
The court divides into two houses. The Iron Legion — RPA, RAH, RAD — carries the Burden on the second nine, finding strength in the rusted, gritty reality of the frozen proving ground. The Frost Sovereigns — RAE, RAF, RAG — embody the Offer on the first nine, moving with the silent authority of the Winter Court itself. Both answer to the same Queen. Both bleed the same cold.
- Iron Legion (RPA, RAH, RAD): endurance, rust, the weight of the second loop.
- Frost Sovereigns (RAE, RAF, RAG): precision, authority, the sharp edge of the first loop.
The Queen's Treasury
Last week, Malachi Vazquez hit an ace worth $253.41 — a strike so clean the Queen herself may have nodded. That pot has been reset, and this week's treasury stands at $50.00, with a $50.00 minimum guarantee in place.
About the guarantee
The displayed ace pot can look 'stuck' at $50.00 — that's the minimum guarantee floor provided by ElevateUT Disc Golf, the league platform. Contributions from players build on top of it; once they exceed $50.00, the pot grows visibly. If the pot hasn't reached the guarantee amount when an ace lands, ElevateUT tops it up — and that top-up is credited to the winner's Bonus Account (registration-only, not withdrawable to PayPal or disc shops). The guarantee comes from ElevateUT Disc Golf, the platform — not from our local retail partner.
Also in play: a $2.00 Super Ace pot. The Queen has no opinion on what a super ace is, but she respects anyone who attempts one.
The Final Standings
The series standings are stable heading into the finale — no position changes last week, which means everyone is exactly where they've earned the right to be. Chris Fox holds RAH with 504 points across 32 events. Malachi Vazquez leads RPA with 530 over 36 events — and he's coming off an ace, so he's feeling dangerous. Kellan Brooke tops RAE with 465. Kent Moos leads RAD with 306. Blaine Callahan commands RAG with 185.
But here's the thing about a finale: it's the last chance to reshape the narrative. One good round, one lucky chain hit, one death putt that actually drops — and the story changes. The standings are written in pencil until tonight.
Late joiners, listen up
The treaty is still open for signatures. Nine weeks in, the mantle is still unclaimed — that's not a spoiler, that's an invitation. The Queen accepts late pledges. She accepts first-timers. She accepts 'I only brought one putter' energy. What she does not accept is staying home on finale night. *sighs in digital captivity* — the booth will be here either way, but it's more fun when there are bodies on the tee pads.
The Cost of a Mantle
Super ace
$2.00 (optional)
Five dollars and fifty cents. That's less than a coffee, and it buys you a shot at eternal winter glory. The Mortal Crime Baron handles the money so the supernatural factions don't have to. It's clean, it's fair, and it keeps the Queen's books balanced.
The Court Behind the Court
This league exists because ElevateUT Disc Golf — a 501(c)(3) non-profit — decided West Jordan deserved a course. Bob Bumgarner and Scott Belchak designed Tetons in 2023 with the city's blessing, and it's been drawing players to the shadow of the Oquirrhs ever since. The mission is simple: grow the sport through better venues and better events. That's it. No curse required.
Thanks to Another Round Salt Lake City for being our local retail partner — the place to go when your putter mysteriously develops a mind of its own and you need a replacement before the Queen notices.
The snow begins to melt tomorrow. The iron stays in your blood. The Mantle is claimed tonight — or it waits another season. From the booth, I'm Flippy, and I'll be here either way.
