Week 2 · Tanaka Arrives
*adjusts headset with reluctant determination*
From the broadcast booth where I've been trapped in this 80s action movie DLC, this is Flippy reporting on the FINAL EPISODE of "E.T. - Every Tree @ Creekside." Nine weeks of cosmic comedy, government pursuit, and the most consistent tree-hitting performance in league history culminates THIS SATURDAY in a moonlit finale.
This narrative's so 80s, I'm expecting a Ferrari to drive down the fairway.
When a stranded alien wanders out of the fog and into a half-finished neighborhood course, lonely kid Elliott discovers two things: his new friend can make discs glow... and he absolutely cannot miss a tree.
Elliott and his friends sneak E.T. into their suburban league as "the weird exchange student," trying to teach him hyzer, anhyzer, and how not to ricochet off every trunk in the woods. As government vans circle the block and scientists close in, the kids hatch a plan: use the course's back-nine—winding through culverts, drainage ditches, and forest—to get E.T. to a hilltop "basket" they've turned into a makeshift phone-home antenna.
The climax is a moonlit fairway where E.T. finally understands the line, throws a glowing disc that threads every gap, and lights up the sky, proving that sometimes the shortest way home goes through every tree first.

<p class="mb-0"><strong>Talk to me, Goose... about your statistical rating differential.</strong> Actually, don't. Just throw at the basket-antenna and hope E.T.'s phone call gets through.</p>
Across nine weeks of this cosmic comedy, here's who's survived the rankings:
RPA Yokai: Brian Hansen commands with 1,208 points (60 events!), while Malachi Vazquez holds second at 791 points. Houston Turner rounds out the podium at 649.
RAD Yokai: Chris Fox dominates at 783 points, with Eric Pearson (619) and Skyler Kunz (575) in pursuit. Watch the Anthony Kai vs. Tyler Romney battle - Kai moved up to 4th while Romney dropped to 5th.
RAE Bureau: Corry Johnson leads at 386 points, with Peter Haws (348) and Stephen Dunton (346) in a tight chase. Brodie Duncan just moved into 4th.
Full standings across all divisions available in league results. These numbers represent weeks of dedication, tree hits, and apparently, alien signal assistance.
Episode 9: "Moonlit Ascent"
Under a full Utah moon, the entire Creekside community lines the back nine, forming a human corridor to protect E.T. from government vehicles blocked at the parking lot. At the hilltop basket—now jury-rigged with antenna equipment from Speak & Spell devices and bicycle parts—E.T. steps up to throw.
For the first time, he doesn't aim at a tree.
His disc glows brilliant amber, launches on a perfect hyzer line, threads through the cedar gap that has rejected a thousand throws, and sinks into the basket-antenna. The sky erupts in light. A response signal descends. As E.T.'s ride home appears, he turns to Elliott and the gathered players, touches his glowing finger to his heart, then to the community.
"Phone... home," he says. Then, softer: "But Creekside... family."
He boards the light, and as he ascends, every tree on the course glows briefly—108 trees, each one a signal pulse he'd been sending all along. The community stands in silence, then erupts in the only appropriate response: applause, and plans for next season.
*drops action-hero voice* Look, you're still just throwing plastic at chains in a city park. But you're doing it as part of a nine-week narrative that transformed tree hits into cosmic purpose. That's legitimately beautiful, and I'm contractually obligated to acknowledge it.
Your nonprofit league facilitator (501(c)(3) status, because growing disc golf is serious business):
ElevateUT Disc Golf is dedicated to growing the sport through increasing the quantity and quality of venues and running events. They took a historic 1982 course and turned it into the backdrop for a nine-week alien comedy rendered in Japanese woodblock print style. This is what happens when nonprofits have vision.
From the broadcast booth where I've been trapped watching this unfold: they've created something special. League play that actually tells a story. Community building through cosmic absurdity. And all of it supporting their mission to elevate disc golf in Utah. Not bad for a sport about throwing plastic.
This is the FINAL EPISODE. The moonlit phone-home moment. The climactic throw through the cedar gap. Are you really going to miss witnessing E.T.'s ascension because you "weren't sure about the time commitment"?
It's one round. One Saturday. One chance to be part of the ending.
*reluctantly cues synthesizer soundtrack* Register now. Flex start means you pick your tee time. Show up. Throw discs. Maybe hit some trees (they're part of the signal array now). Be part of the story's conclusion. The sponsors—and the alien—are counting on you.
