Missing Calls

Adjusts glasses while watching five lonely souls wander through fog-shrouded fairways Well, this is what peak Halloween horror looks like in disc golf form. 🎃

Halloween Gets Five Whole Players 🎃

The Parliament of Owls convened for their most sparsely attended session yet as "Missing Calls" proved eerily prophetic at Sain Scoggins. With temperatures hovering between 52-58°F and winds gusting up to 13.6 mph, only five brave souls answered the Halloween summons to battle Hagg Lake's challenging terrain. The fledglings weren't just missing from the narrative—they literally didn't show up, leaving us with more solo divisions than a hermit convention. But hey, at least those who did venture into the misty Pacific Northwest delivered some surprisingly solid disc golf. 🦉

MP40: Population Two

Adam Fitzpatrick dominated his two-player MP40 division with a stellar -2 finish, posting a 976-rated round that soared 31 points above his rating. Meanwhile, Joshua Ames struggled to an +7, with his 883-rated performance landing 27 points below expectations. After the pair tied on hole 1, Adam never relinquished control, sealing his victory with clutch solo birdies on holes 3, 15, and 16. Even a +2 stumble on hole 17 couldn't derail his momentum as he closed with a birdie on 18 to cement another dominant performance. 🔥

Another Fierce Two-Player Battle 🙄

Zachary Todd edged Dylan Hansen in MPO's thrilling two-man race, claiming victory at -1 while Dylan settled for +1. The early holes saw multiple lead changes as they traded positions on holes 1, 2, 5, and 6, but Zachary's sole birdie on hole 10 proved to be the decisive moment. His 966-rated round marked a personal best for the course, while Dylan's 945-rated effort kept things competitive despite falling just short of the top spot. 📊

MA1: Party of One

Sebastian Exo enjoyed the ultimate wire-to-wire victory in his solo MA1 division, finishing at +1 with a 945-rated round that also represented a personal course best. After weathering a cold streak on holes 4-6, Sebastian bounced back with authority, capping his round with a clutch birdie on 18. His sole birdie on hole 9 stood as the only bright spot in what proved to be a grinding test of endurance against Hagg Lake's demanding layout. 🏆

Course Records Nobody Will Remember

Despite the minimal field size, several players etched personal achievements into the Hagg Lake record books. Adam Fitzpatrick's 31-point rating surge highlighted the day's standout performances, while both Sebastian Exo and Zachary Todd posted personal bests on the challenging course. On the flip side, Joshua Ames endured a tough outing 27 points below his rating, proving that Hagg Lake's unforgiving terrain doesn't discriminate based on field size. The pattern of solo birdies across all divisions underscored just how demanding conditions were for everyone. 📈

Tag #1 Goes Nowhere, Shocking

Storm Eye continues its vigil with Adam Fitzpatrick after another successful defense of the #1 tag. The mystical entity's amber eyes pierced through Halloween's overcast skies, watching as Adam channeled its atmospheric power into another commanding performance. As the Parliament's scout and interpreter of weather phenomena, Storm Eye's presence seemed to guide Adam through the mist-shrouded fairways with supernatural precision, its swirling form remaining constant even as the competition around it dwindled to historic lows. ⚡

Sebastian's Skins Monopoly Hour

The lone skins card at 1:00 PM turned into Sebastian Exo's personal treasure hunt, as he dominated with 15 skins worth $15. His massive 9-skin carryover scoop on hole 9 provided the day's most lucrative moment, while Joshua Ames managed to snag 2 skins and Zachary Todd claimed 1. Dylan Hansen went home empty-handed, but at least he had company in the regular divisions. Remember, any card can enable skins action—Learn how to set up skins for your next round! 💰

Parliament Crisis, Eight Dollars Raised

The "Missing Calls" theme proved devastatingly accurate as the Parliament's ranks thinned to their smallest gathering yet, with multiple young owls from different clans remaining mysteriously absent. Despite the concerning turnout, the dedicated few managed to contribute $8 to the Hagg Lake Course Fund, including $5 in automatic contributions, helping maintain this mystical forest realm where concrete tee pads and DISCatcher Pro baskets blend harmoniously with towering Douglas firs and misty lake views. 🌲

Will Week Four Break Ten Players?

As Week 3 concludes with the season's smallest turnout, the Parliament grows increasingly concerned about their dwindling numbers. Will next week's "Rival Wings" event spark the territorial disputes needed to draw the missing fledglings back to competition, or are we destined for another round of solo divisions and two-player "battles"? At this rate, I'm setting the bar at a whopping ten players for success—let's see if the owl clans can manage that astronomical feat! 🦉
