Still Waters Run Deep
Born from the legendary tidal surges that reshape Pier Park's shoreline, this rune first appeared in the season's third week when a struggling contender mounted an improbable comeback, erasing a five-stroke deficit in the final three holes. The local fishermen speak of obsidian stones revealed at low tide—dark treasures hidden beneath the surface, only exposed to those patient enough to wait.
The tag glows with an deep charcoal luminescence that pulses in rhythm with the bearer's heartbeat. When the sigil is in contention, the obsidian surface develops a subtle iridescence, like oil on water, warning opponents that the tide has turned. The runic carvings glow amber during high-stakes matches.
A force that withdraws only to return stronger—a bearer carries the weight of inevitability, and challengers know that defeating them once means nothing if the tide hasn't truly turned.
Season Story
narrated by Flippyadjusts headset Eric Vandereems posted a 69 at an 877 rating—that's 46 strokes below his nominal 923, which means the Obsidian Tide rolled out this week and left him exposed. A six-stroke swing against the field average tells the story: this wasn't his day at Pier Park, and the leaderboard renders its verdict in the form of a downslip from #2 to #3. The tag's origin story promised patience rewarded; Vandereems got the opposite—a reminder that even those who wait for the deficit to close sometimes just dig deeper. Back to the booth: another week, another episode where the standings have thoughts, and his new tag number is one of them.
Eric Vandereems stepped into the Thornbound Tussle wearing the newly minted Obsidian Tide tag, a rune born from comeback mythology—and immediately got caught in a deficit the legend couldn't erase. A 69 on the card, -46 below his 923 PDGA rating, is the kind of performance that makes "patience rewarded" sound like a cruel joke. The tag's origin story promised dark treasures revealed at low tide; Vandereems instead found shallow water and a six-stroke beating against the 63.0 field average. He claimed the #2 position fresh off the rack, which is the disc golf equivalent of inheriting a haunted mansion on move-in day—sure, you own it, but something here isn't quite right. adjusts headset The continuity memo was right: we're still waiting to see if this rune grants actual resilience or just a cinematic backstory. Week 3 will tell us whether Obsidian Tide floats or sinks.
