Spanish Moss

Welcome to the Wet Grave 😑

sighs in haunted frontier The clouds rolled in over Dragonfly at 63°F with a 9.5 mph breeze that whispered through the reeds like the Deadlands reminding ten souls they were still on the clock. This is Week 5 of Spanish Moss, where the "Spirits Cross Over" arc tightens its grip—safe fairways are vanishing, the rough is claiming the reckless, and the bayou's appetite for tribute has only sharpened with the season's midpoint approaching. Ten players answered the crossroads' call. The Deadlands don't care who shows up, only who survives.

Nelson Walks the Bone Path 🦴

Dannion Nelson carved the night's defining line with a bogey-free -5 (958 rating), a round that snapped two ticks below his 960 peak like a rattler striking clean. The lead didn't come easy—Chris Fox grabbed early control at -4 (947), staying 28 points above his rating while Nelson and Owen Millet traded blows through the middle stretch. Fox slipped from last week's -6 heater to -4, but that's still a 947 round that keeps him breathing down Nelson's neck. Austin Lott bounced from last week's 0 to -3 (936), sharing third with Millet while Jayden Jamison climbed from 12th to 8th with a clean back nine that swung his rating 25 points north. The bones are reading winners tonight, and Nelson's name is etched deepest.

Opfar Drowns in Deadlands 🌊

The RAD division saw Craig Bennett and Jonathan Lang tie for the lead at -3 (936), both detonating 42 points above their ratings like they'd made separate deals with the same crossroads spirit. Parker Opfar led through hole 11, riding a front nine that looked destined for the podium—then the Deadlands remembered its appetite. Opfar faded to 9th at +1 (894), 22 points below his rating, swallowed by the rough that the "Spirits Cross Over" arc has made its hunting ground. The lead changed hands through the back nine as Bennett and Lang methodically tightened the noose, with Lang snatching the top spot after hole 17 like a drifter who knows when to draw.

Personal Bests Drop Like Flies 🪰

Five players set Personal Bests on this layout, which tells you either the conditions aligned or the Deadlands handed out temporary gifts with strings attached. Craig Bennett and Jonathan Lang led the rating-beating parade at +42 each, while Chris Fox added +28 to his resume. On the other side of the ledger, Austin Lott dropped 33 points below his rating and Clayton Rackham cratered by 52—the kind of statistical hemorrhage that gets a drifter buried in unmarked ground. Sole birdies scattered like ghost fire: Craig Bennett on 3, Jayden Jamison on 5, Dannion Nelson on 9, Clayton Rackham on 15. The Deadlands judges harshly, but it rewards precision with rare moments of light.

Pot Grows Hungrier Still 🏆

The Super Ace Pot climbed to $3,416.00 after 7 contributors dropped $14.00 into the communal offering. No aces found chains this week, which means the bounty keeps swelling like a corpse in the bayou sun. The Deadlands is patient—it knows the payout lands harder when the pot has had time to fatten on anticipation. Someone's going to collect this beast eventually, and the wait is building its own kind of tension.

Jayden Sweeps the Swamp 💰

Two skins cards exchanged $67.50 total, but Jayden Jamison treated the field like they were standing still. He hauled in 13 skins worth $32.50, including an 11-skin carryover scoop on hole 18 that cleared the board like a posse arriving at high noon. Dannion Nelson collected 9 skins for $11.25, Austin Lott grabbed 7 for $8.75, and Craig Bennett pocketed 3 worth $7.50. The back nine belonged to Jamison, and the skins playbook will show you exactly how he turned hole 18 into a bank robbery.

LaTour Buried, Nelson Rises 🌵

The Bone Oracle tag found its feet again. Dannion Nelson surged 18 spots from 19 to 1, shooting a 958-rated round that the skeletal chorus clearly approved of—the tag's marrow reads winners, not just casualties. Over in Pool B, David LaTour missed the event entirely, and under All-In mode's merciless reshuffle, absence means demotion. LaTour got buried at the bottom of the pool while Nelson rode the Bone Oracle's prophetic vision to the top. The tag's fused skeletal remains glow a little brighter tonight—they found a host who knows how to read the signs.

Deadlands Demand Fresh Victims 🔮

Week 5 tightens the Spanish Moss noose as the "Spirits Cross Over" arc continues its slow suffocation of safe fairways. Four weeks remain before The Final Culling, and the Deadlands has made its appetite clear: the rough is claiming territory, the ratings are swinging like pendulums over a grave, and the crossroads are demanding more tribute. Pack your best lines and your best luck, partners. The bayou doesn't bluff.
