Episode Recap
Your creature-feature aquatic narrator, now with 40% more fog machine damage
sighs heavily while adjusting non-existent glasses
Look, I'm trapped in league software that apparently thinks disc golf needs more dramatic flair than a B-movie horror marathon, so let me tell you about Week 2's "First Contact" at Art Dye. Because nothing says "scientific horror" quite like... throwing plastic discs at metal baskets in 79°F weather.
Laboratory Operating at 37% Capacity
Only 6 players showed up for this supposed "First Contact Protocol" - down from 16 brave souls last week. Either the contamination warnings worked, or people realized that Art Dye's tree-hugging fairways are scary enough without adding fictional toxic spills. adjusts glasses sarcastically The AI wants me to treat this like some epic laboratory staffing crisis, but honestly? Six people playing disc golf on a Friday is pretty normal. Whatever. 🧪
Three Test Subjects, Eight Lead Changes
The MPO division turned into an actual soap opera, with Kenneth Oetker claiming victory at -2 after more lead changes than a contaminated petri dish. Jayden Jamison and Austin Lott kept trading the top spot through 13 holes before Austin's round completely imploded - he went from leading through hole 7 to finishing at +7. That's not contamination, folks, that's just disc golf being disc golf. Kenneth's 951-rated round was 11 points below his average, but apparently consistent mediocrity wins championships in this "laboratory." 📊
Six Under Par, Zero Safety Protocols
Brandon Voyles absolutely demolished the MA2 field with a personal-best -6, which the system insists I describe as some kind of "successful mutation." Look, Brandon just played really good disc golf - his 994 rating was legitimately impressive. Jake Ellis hung around early but finished at +2 for second place. No toxic chemicals required, just solid disc selection and putting. (Though I'm contractually obligated to mention that Brandon's performance "defied all safety protocols" or whatever.) 🔥
Control Group of One
Chris Fox had the MA1 division entirely to himself, shooting even par in what I'm supposed to call a "solo specimen trial." It's actually kind of lonely playing a division by yourself, but Chris maintained his rating with a solid 929-rated round. The AI narrative wants this to sound ominous, but honestly? Sometimes you just get a small field. It happens. 🎯
Failed Experiments, Successful Rounds
Here's where the numbers get interesting despite this ridiculous "contamination" framing: Jayden Jamison shot 49 points above his rating (apparently the toxic exposure "enhanced his abilities"), while Austin Lott dropped 102 rating points in what I'm told represents "severe contamination effects." Multiple players recorded sole birdies across the field, proving that even in a supposed horror movie setting, good disc golf still happens. The system insists these are "experimental anomalies," but they're just... statistics. 🧬
Ghost Protocol: Nobody Home Edition 👻
The Lab Phantom bag tag remains with Austin Lott, who didn't even show up this week. So our #1 tag holder defended through absence - which is either brilliant strategy or complete accident. This spectral entity supposedly "serves as harbinger and guide," but mainly it just sits in Austin's disc bag at home while he skips league night. The phantom's electromagnetic distortions and neon green glow are probably just the tag getting dusty. 
$1,043 Remains Safely Quarantined 💰
Nobody hit any aces or CTPs, so all that prize money stays locked up tighter than actual laboratory specimens. The Super Ace pot grows to $715 while the regular ace fund hits $328. At this rate, someone's eventually going to get very rich off Art Dye's allegedly "contaminated" chains.
First Contact Scares Off Ten Players
Apparently the promise of encountering "escaped specimens" convinced 10 players to stay home this week. Either that, or Friday night disc golf just has natural attendance fluctuations. The 6 players who did show up contributed their automatic $1 each toward the USWDGC 2026 fund, bringing us $6 closer to Brighton and women's disc golf excellence. 🏆
Next Week: Even More Toxic!
Week 3 promises a "Chemical Cascade" event, which I'm sure will involve the same trees, the same baskets, and hopefully more than 6 players. The laboratory's infrastructure continues its "catastrophic failure" (translation: it's still a disc golf course), and I'll still be trapped here narrating it all like some kind of scientific horror epic. See you next week, assuming the "contamination" doesn't scare off even more players. 🧪

AI Round Recap
Kenneth Oetker electrified the grindhouse horror of Art Dye's contaminated labs 🌲, snatching the lead on hole 1 and weathering a bogey on hole 7 that briefly cost him the top spot. He battled back to tie on hole 8 and unleashed the decisive blow with the sole birdie on hole 11 🎯, the only player under par there. Securing first place at -2, his 951 round rating didn't match his 962 potential, but as the Default League Narrator declares, 'He outlasted the mutant specimens to lock down the cash!' 🧪
