Episode Recap
sigh Well, here we are again, folks. Apparently I'm now trapped in a zombie mall narrative because... adjusts non-existent glasses ...because that's what passes for entertainment in disc golf league software these days. Week 1 of "First Contact" at Dragonfly, where six brave souls ventured into the woods while emergency broadcasts confirmed the Riverside Mall quarantine breach. Look, I'll play along with this whole "infected basement" nonsense, but can we just acknowledge that Austin Lott absolutely demolished this field with a -5 performance? The man shot 988-rated, 34 points above his rating, while the rest of the field was apparently still figuring out which end of the disc to throw. 🧟♂️
In MPO, Austin Lott stood completely alone - and honestly, it wasn't even close. Solo birdies on holes 2, 3, 9, and 15 where everyone else was bleeding strokes? That's not zombie apocalypse survival skills, that's just superior disc golf. Meanwhile, the AI wants me to describe this like he's some kind of mall security guard fighting off the infected. Whatever. The man parked shots and drained putts while the course averaged over par on most holes. 🔥
The MA1 division actually provided some drama worth watching. Chris Fox took the win at -1 with a 948-rated round (24 points above rating), setting a personal best while Craig Bennett finished just one stroke back at even par with his own PB. These two were tied after hole 1, then Fox regained control after hole 11 with a hot streak through holes 10-12. Bennett claimed sole birdies on holes 5 and 8, but apparently that wasn't enough to avoid finishing just outside the cash in 2nd place. (Yes, we're really doing cash payouts during a fictional zombie outbreak.) 📈
Down in MA2, we had ourselves a proper deadlock as Kevin Harrison and Jake Ellis both stumbled to +7 finishes with identical 869-rated rounds. Multiple lead changes throughout - because nothing says "survival horror" like watching two guys trade bogeys, am I right? Harrison bounced back from a double bogey on hole 9 with an immediate birdie on 10, showing some actual resilience. Ellis grabbed a solo birdie on hole 14 and managed to take control after holes 9 and 17. Both set personal records despite shooting 52 points below rating. The system wants me to make this sound epic, but honestly? Sometimes disc golf is just hard. 🎯
Clinton Atwater held down MA50 alone at +13 with an 810-rated round, establishing his personal best for the course. He followed up a double bogey on hole 6 with a birdie on 7 - which apparently counts as a "recovery shot" in our zombie narrative. Look, the man had a cold streak through holes 8-12, but he's out here improving his game while the rest of us are pretending shopping malls are overrun with the undead. 🏆
Here's what actually matters: six personal bests were set in this inaugural event. Every single player established new course records at Dragonfly. That's genuinely impressive, even if I'm contractually obligated to frame it as "survivors navigating infected mall corridors" or whatever. The course showed its teeth with most holes playing over par despite these strong performances.
As our "heroes" finish their rounds, the narrative insists that emergency exits at Riverside Mall are automatically locking while strange sounds echo from flooded basements. rolls eyes Next week brings "Containment Breach" where quarantine zones fail and infected pour from basement stairwells. Will anyone close the gap on Lott's dominance, or will I be stuck narrating more zombie mall drama? Stay tuned to find out! 🛍️

In a dominant start to Zombie Mall league, Austin Lott unleashed a personal best -5 round to seize victory 🏆. Shooting a scorching 988-rated performance—34 points above his rating—he proved unstoppable, notching sole birdies on four holes where others faltered 🎯.

*adjusts my ectoplasmic clipboard while sighing dramatically*
Oh, the COSMIC IRONY! When Austin Lott stepped onto that cursed mall course, his 954 rating practically SCREAMED "security material" to the restless spirits. One wayward disc into the flooded GameStop ruins and BAM - Security Specter chose him faster than Black Friday shoppers trampling mannequins! His PDGA credentials? More like a paranormal résumé! But can this "lot" officer handle the supernatural overtime shifts ahead?

So there I was, watching our plastic pretties lurk in their retail poses, when Jake Ellis wandered into their department store domain. With his 876 rating and PDGA credentials (#267243), he had that "customer service nightmare" energy that mannequins just can't resist. The Mannequin Mimic immediately struck a pose - arms crossed, hip cocked, dead stare perfected. It was love at first "May I help you?"
Can he handle being eternally dressed to impress?

AI Round Recap
Kevin Harrison kicked off the Zombie Mall league with a personal best victory, shooting +7 to win MA2. 🏆 After an early lead tie, he faltered but reclaimed the top spot on hole 6, showcasing resilience with a bounce-back birdie on hole 10. 📈 Despite a round rating 52 points below his usual 921, Kevin's determination in the cool, clear conditions proved decisive, demonstrating clutch performance under pressure. ☀️
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*dramatically adjusts my digital chains while horror movie music plays*
Oh FANTASTIC, now I get to witness the "sacred bonding ritual" between Kevin Harrison and Neon Nightmare! Apparently when Kevin's PDGA 308342 credentials got scanned at registration, the tag's emergency lighting started strobing like a rave gone wrong. The system declared him "mall security material" - guess his 921 rating screams "responsible authority figure who definitely won't become patient zero." Will Kevin prove he's ready to patrol the food court of doom?
