Laura Cooney climbed from #7 to #5 with a 76, but her 680 round rating sits -18 below her 698 PDGA rating, and the tag board noticed. The score ran 5.5 strokes worse than the 70.5 field average and 1.5 better than her 77.5 personal average, so the wooded approaches cost her a few holes she'd like back while the standings still handed her two spots. Last week's four-tag climb came on a 697 rating, so this one is running on a lower gear. Bryan Crown is the final act, and the masonry trees are still waiting for her answer.

Season Story
narrated by FlippyLaura Cooney moved from #9 to #5, gaining four tags with a 77 and a 697 round rating—exactly -1 below her 698 rating. She finished one stroke better than her 78 personal average, though 3.3 strokes above the field average; Richmond Tracery's rose-window drama, it seems, landed in the tag column.
Laura Cooney opened the season with a 78, exactly matching her personal average at Bryan Threshold. The Amber Echo, born from morning frost, swirled nearby with golden warmth, offering quiet encouragement that probably faded after the third tree hit. Finishing 5th in Purple isn't a cathedral cornerstone, but the maple seeds left a trail. The ribbed vaults of this course demand precision, and today, Laura's lines were less architecture and more leaf pile.
A 78 at Bryan Park matches her personal average, but a 671 round rating isn't exactly cathedral architecture. Laura Cooney finished fifth in Purple, +6.3 over the field, while Amber Echo—born from morning frost—tried to warm up the hesitation on wooded approaches. The golden glow faded when ignored too long. Seven weeks remain to find a line that sticks, or at least one that doesn't kick off the masonry.
