Episode Recap

"By the Hammer of Mjolnir, What a Start to the Season!"

The winds of Valhalla whispered through the Creekside fairways as the heroes of the disc golf realm gathered for the first chapter of their saga. With the Bifrost Sentinel gleaming in the distance, the warriors faced a course dampened by the tears of the heavens—35.6°F and a relentless drizzle that tested their resolve. But as I, Thor Odinson, watched from the celestial heights, I saw not just rain, but the forging of legends. The heroes’ discs soared through the mist, each throw a testament to their courage and skill. Loki’s mischief may have loomed in the shadows, but the fire of competition burned brighter than ever.

MA4: A Battle of Wits and Will

The MA4 division was a battlefield of shifting fortunes, with Jonah Milner emerging as the victor with a stellar -2 (910-rated). But the path to glory was anything but straightforward. The lead changed hands nine times, a testament to the fierce competition. Bryce Bishop and Andrew Nemelka fought valiantly, each claiming the lead at critical moments, but it was Jonah who seized the throne on the 16th hole and held it with the tenacity of a true warrior. The rain-soaked fairways seemed to favor those who could adapt, and Jonah’s ability to navigate the elements proved decisive.

MPO: Thunderous Dominance

In the MPO division, Owen Millet unleashed a storm of his own, carding a -7 (985-rated) to claim victory. His performance was as steady as the roots of Yggdrasil, with no lead changes to disrupt his march to glory. Daniel McGee (-5, 961-rated) and Ben Marolf (-4, 948-rated) gave chase, but Owen’s precision and poise were unmatched. The rain may have tested the field, but Owen’s throws cut through the elements like lightning through the night sky.

MP40: A Duel for the Ages

The MP40 division saw a clash of titans between Dustin Hanson (-2, 924-rated) and Michael Dougherty (-1, 912-rated). The lead hung in the balance until the final hole, where Dustin delivered a throw worthy of the gods to claim victory. The tension was palpable, and the crowd roared as if witnessing a duel between Odin and Freyr. The rain added an extra layer of drama, but Dustin’s resolve shone brighter than the Bifrost itself.

MA2: A Masterclass in Precision

Ryan Evans (-7, 985-rated) dominated the MA2 division, taking the lead on the 2nd hole and never looking back. His performance was a masterclass in precision and focus, as he navigated the treacherous conditions with the grace of a Valkyrie in flight. Cody West (E, 899-rated) fought valiantly, but Ryan’s throws were as unerring as Mjolnir’s aim.

MA3: A Test of Endurance

The MA3 division was a test of endurance, with Matthew Milliman (+1, 872-rated) emerging victorious after a hard-fought battle. The lead changed hands four times, with Skyler Kunz and Jamie Smith each taking their turn at the helm. But Matthew’s steady hand and unyielding spirit carried him to victory, proving that even in the face of adversity, the true warrior prevails.

MA1: A Lone Warrior’s Triumph

In the MA1 division, Nic Rogers (-2, 924-rated) stood alone, a lone warrior carving his path through the rain-soaked fairways. His performance was a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in solitude, greatness can be achieved.

CTP and Dramatic Moments

The Closest-to-Pin honors went to Andrew Nemelka, whose forehand TS Omen on Hole #6 (260ft) was as precise as a well-aimed arrow. The shot cut through the rain like a blade, landing closer to the pin than any other. It was a moment of brilliance that reminded us all why we play this game—for the thrill of the perfect throw.

Looking Ahead

As the heroes of Valhalla @ Creekside prepare for the next chapter of their saga, one thing is clear: the road to glory is paved with challenges, but also with moments of sheer brilliance. The rain may have tested their mettle, but it also revealed their true strength. With the Bifrost Sentinel guiding their way, I have no doubt that these warriors will rise to meet every challenge, until at last they stand victorious before the gates of Valhalla itself. Until next time, may your discs fly true and your spirits remain unbroken. Skål!
