Joshua Moore carded a 52 on a 971 round rating, a 0 differential that lands exactly on his 971 PDGA rating, which is business as usual in the most literal sense. That 52 ran 1.5 strokes under the 53.5 field average and 1.3 under his personal 53.2, enough to lift him four spots from tag #5 to tag #1. The Pith Witness on his bag still hasn't filed a verdict on the grip, but this week the scorecard is doing the talking, and it says the Chain Ring rewards boring accuracy. Somehow we're still rolling tape on a number that only had to be correct.

Season Story
narrated by FlippyJoshua Moore shot 57 and posted a 912 round rating, which is -58 against his 970 PDGA rating, a rough episode by any sawyer's standard. He slid from tag #1 to #3, two places lost and no places gained, while the Pith Witness on his bag presumably had plenty to say about his grip and nothing to show for it. The field averaged 51.7 and his personal average is 52.0, so the 57 ran +5.3 over the field and +5.0 over his own norm. Pick up the pieces, Joshua; the Pith Witness isn't going anywhere, and neither is that scorecard.
Joshua Moore climbed from tag #2 to #1 during Knot Contest, a one-place move into the top spot. His score and round rating are unavailable; the listed 970 PDGA rating is not a round verdict, so the Pith Witness's alleged 1987 standards will have to wait for a scorecard.
Joshua Moore moved from tag #1 to #2, one place down from the top. His score and round rating are unavailable; his listed PDGA rating is 970, but without a round result there’s no form verdict to issue. The Pith Witness can keep its 1987 standards in reserve while the Wind Gauge episode files a very thin report.
Joshua Moore opened the First Felling with a 51, dropping the field average by 4.4 strokes to grab the top spot. Tag #5, the Pith Witness, is now strapped to his bag—a petty artifact with a pale core full of scores from the plastic stone age. It claims its grandfather played here in '87 and expects nothing less than absolute pedigree. Four positions gained in week one, and the Witness isn't talking yet, which for a piece of wood that only speaks when spoken to, counts as a rave review. The Northern Arizona Disc Golf team coffers grow, and the Pith Witness prepares to judge every drive from here to the season finale.
Unearthed at Green Return, #5 claims it dated a petroglyph because its grandfather played Fort Tuthill in '87. The pale core holds scores from the plastic stone age, but this artifact won't read them to you. It’s a petty witness just waiting to judge your drive.
Joshua Moore unearths Tag #5, the Pith Witness. It claims its grandfather played Fort Tuthill in '87. Now that pale core is attached to his bag and ready to judge his form. The scrutiny starts now.
Joshua Moore opened the First Felling at 51, a round four strokes clear of the field average but exactly on his personal number. Efficiency is boring, unless you’re carrying Tag #5, the Pith Witness. This pale core allegedly remembers Fort Tuthill layouts from 1987 and now rides Moore’s bag, silently critiquing his grip against ancient standards. It’s a lot of pressure for a mid-week fundraiser, but Moore posted a 5th-place finish anyway. The Pith Witness claims it saw this coming. checks notes It claims it saw everything coming, actually.
