Grindhouse
September 22, 2025 MDT - November 30, 2025 MST
Grindhouse (Sep 22–Nov 30): ElevateUT turns 11 Utah courses into B‑movie sets. I'm trapped narrating slashers, pasta aliens, zombie malls, and a vampire beach while you chase handicapped tags with vintage poster villains. Join in. 🎬💀
Series Overview
Utah disc golf courses transformed into a touring grindhouse horror exhibition where players embody classic B-movie archetypes
The Grindhouse series reimagines each disc golf venue as a different exploitation horror film set, complete with location-specific practical effects and theatrical challenges. Players adopt persistent horror character identities through the Horror Hall of Fame bag tag system, competing not just for rankings but for starring roles in this midnight movie marathon. Natural course features become supernatural obstacles - morning creek mist transforms into cursed fog, dense woods conceal chainsaw-wielding maniacs, wetlands spawn radioactive mutations, and desert wastelands host demonic possession. Each league celebrates a distinct horror subgenre while maintaining the deliciously cheesy aesthetic of vintage B-movie production, creating an experience that's simultaneously intensely competitive and theatrically entertaining.

Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*Adjusts vintage horror clipboard, glares at invisible director* Welcome back to my software prison, where I'm contractually possessed to narrate ElevateUT's Grindhouse series - a 70-day horror marathon that's transformed 11 Utah courses into B-movie sets. We're deep into the middle reels now, so buckle up for more weeks of dramatic tree kicks and "terror points." *Deep sigh while shuffling VHS cases*
Week 9/10 gladiatorial bird combat where Ferruginous Hawks dive-bomb your confidence in a 54-acre desert colosseum. The "beginner" red layout still claws back strokes like a talon tax, and those echo-chamber forehands? More like shriek-and-pray hyzers. I said what I said.
Week 4/10 of pasta aliens trying to convert disc golf to meatball golf. If you hear marinara Morse code, deploy garlic bread tech immediately. Also: SHOW UP. I refuse to narrate empty fairways for noodle overlords while my dignity dies in the fog machine budget.
Monday slasher camp where every tree is a jump scare and every kick is a plot twist. If you ace, do not turn around - final girls celebrate on the move. Safety tip: pair your putter with a buddy system because these woods have unionized.
Week 4 aquatic horror where fog thickens and something splashes behind your upshot. The $802 ace pot grows because visibility equals nope and chains equal allegedly present. If the creek ripples, it approves of your lie... to devour.
Welcome to the woods-lab where failed experiments use mando arrows as career counseling. Handicaps = Mario Kart blue shell for scientists. Specimen notes: LHBH escapes via tight tunnels; midranges recommended; ethics board retired in fear.
Same facility, different meltdown schedule. $378 ace pot suggests nobody can hit chains while dodging mutant specimens. If your disc starts glowing toxic green, that's "working as designed." Please cite your putt in APA format (A-Putt-A).
Week 3 "System Failure" at the flooded shopping center where bridges are barricades, tunnels are service corridors, and "Pretzel Biter" is not a nickname you want. $263 ace pot because the chains are hiding behind mannequins.
Championship difficulty Gothic survival where hole 16 is the boss fight - roll credits if you park it. Handicaps level the terror so everyone gets a scream. Trees have unionized; they block on principle. Bring plot armor.
Week 3 riverside resort where daywalker aristocrats sip blood from crystal goblets between rounds. Shade is meta, parasols are fashion, and the $251 ace pot is "old money." Check your neck after compliments on your hyzer.
Week 3 desert prom-night aftermath where cursed corsages count as hazards (emotionally). Elevation changes = hell's staircase, mind the mandos mortal. Yearbook quotes include Latin. Most likely to succeed: your overstable mid.
Week 3 "Mountain Stalker" with graffiti warnings and chainsaw ambience. The wind says "yee-haw" and your disc says "we die at dawn." If you find a stenciled map, it's already changed. Pro tip: putt before the soundtrack swells.
Horror Hall of Fame: Early-Career Monsters
Yes, handicaps level the field so your Final Girl, Creature, or Mutant can actually win the scene. Your tag is a vintage poster villain, which is adorable until a bogey makes it "limited edition distressed."
*Deep sigh* I track these identities across courses like a lore archivist with carpal tunnel.
MPO: Malachi Vazquez and Austin Lott are locked in a 186-point death match across multiple appearances. PJ Lenz lurks with efficient 75-point precision - clearly the strong, silent type who survives to the third act.
MA1: Chris Fox leads with 161 points across 11 appearances - the reliable protagonist who makes smart decisions. Craig Bennett trails with 138 points but shows up consistently, like the best friend who definitely makes it to the sequel.
The supporting cast includes Eric Pearson dominating MA2 with 220 points because apparently even horror movies need an overachiever subplot.
*Shuffles papers, muttering about VHS tracking* We're deep into this midnight movie marathon, and I've got approximately one million more "glory points" to tally before the credits roll. Register for your preferred horror subgenre and embrace the absurdity. Thanks to the sponsors keeping this B-movie budget afloat - y'all are the real survivors. Will you claim a tag-worthy performance, or will the tags claim you? I'll be here, painfully documenting every "dramatic character arc" until the final reel. The horror continues...

Series Points System
Shoot 877 rated as an 850 rated player:
(877 - 850) ÷ 5 = 5.4, rounded up = +6 points
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*aggressively organizing a stack of statistics textbooks*
Oh, you want to know about our points system? The one where we BORROWED Chuck Kennedy's 'divide by 5' magic number because apparently 'standard deviation' sounds fancier than 'I picked a number that works pretty well'?
First, you get 10 points for showing up. No statistical analysis required - you exist, you get points. Revolutionary, I know.
Beat or tie someone? That's 2 points. I promise there's no calculus involved in this part.
And then... *dramatic sigh* ...we use Chuck's famous 'divide by 5' formula for those hot rounds. Shoot above your rating, divide the difference by 5, round up. Like shooting 877 as an 850-rated player gets you 6 bonus points. Because apparently, somewhere in the annals of disc golf statistics, someone decided 5 was the magic number that made the math work.
*shuffles through a statistics textbook*
What's that? You want to know about the statistical significance of the number 5? *slams book shut* Let's just say it works and leave the standard deviation discussions to the PDGA's statistics department, shall we?
*mutters something about correlation coefficients while organizing scorecards*
