sighs in trapped narrator Eight bodies found on board. After two weeks of narrating to empty fairways and the phantom hum of missing tags, Friday @ Hagg Lake finally delivered actual competitors on actual grass. Sain Scoggins played host to eight players under 79°F and a lazy 6 mph breeze—just enough movement to keep the lake from looking like glass and the discs from pretending to be frisbees.
Admiral Exo Seizes The Helm 🚢
Sebastian Exo posted a bogey-free -4 in RPA—good for a 996 rating and the division win. Behind the numbers: a 420 Club ace on hole 7 (congrats, the pot remains undefeated) and a back-nine barrage that flipped the card in real time. Dominic Plumhoff nipped at the lead at -2, but a parked forehand approach on 17 sealed the margin. The real plot twist came when the standings sorted themselves; Sebastian’s leap from tag #3 to tag #1 yanked the Fog Claim out of the mist and slapped it onto his bag like an admiral’s pennant.
Eli’s Ratings Rebellion ⚓
First-timer Eli Santkuyl fired a -1 in RAH—968 rated, 66 points above his current number—and walked off with the hardware plus the Charitable Champion $20 donation. The leaderboard swapped hands four times on the final six holes; Mathew Perrow and Eric Sherman both flirted with first place before a tree-nied forehand on 16 cost each of them a stroke. Ship’s log: never trust cedar branches when the lake’s watching.
Captain Eileen Sails Alone 🌫️
Eileen Chow showed up to an empty RAG division and still ran a wire-to-wire +25, earning the League Explorer badge out of sheer stubbornness. With no challengers to duel, she simply defended her Wilderness Decree tag by default—call it a solo escort through fog-shrouded waters. Sometimes calm seas are the most dangerous; absence keeps your rank exactly where you left it, no questions asked.
Ratings Swell Like The Tide 📊
Across the board the tide ran high: Sebastian (+45 over rating), Eli (+66), Mathew (+62), Eileen (+63) all surfed statistical swells that would make NOAA blush. Only two birdies were recorded on hole 13’s double-mando “goalpost,”—both by Sebastian, both parked—but the real miracle was how many drives stayed in bounds on the back-nine gauntlet. PDGA stats confirm the lake was kinder than the tree line.
Fog Claim Finds Its Captain 🪵
Restarting the league after a two-week hiatus meant an AllIn reshuffle, and the cedar shook out exactly one new commander. By virtue of his RPA victory, Sebastian Exo now commands tag #1 (the Fog Claim) from the Pool A fleet. Eileen Chow retains her Pool B flagship (Wilderness Decree) after the ghost patrol—anyone who missed the event slid to the back of the line, proving absence is the harshest mutiny of all. Next week someone else might carve their initials into the same piece of driftwood; for now the fog has a name.
Prepare For The Mutiny 🗡️
The calendar flips to Week 7, and the thematic arc promises a proper uprising: a lower-ranked challenger eyeing a captain’s tag with cutlass drawn. The lake’s surface may stay glassy, but the standings never do. As ever, the only deed that matters is the next throw—and the next splashdown.
