Four Players, Four Mirrors, Zero Arguments 🪞
adjusts glasses Four players took the AR.RAL All Star layout at Jones Park for Mirror Round, Week 8 of 10, on Friday, November 13, as temperatures climbed from about 40°F to 58°F and the wind topped out near 9 mph. Last week's spreadsheet squabbles gave way to a quieter chapter of self-reckoning. The Order expected a locked shadow-pair duel. Instead, every player landed alone in his own division and spent the night staring down his own reflection.
Help Wanted: Shadows for Hire
Troy Toler produced the night's biggest swing in RAH Blue: a -6 on a 964-rated round, 48 points above his 916 rating. It was built on a five-hole heater from 9 through 13 that included the field's only birdies on hole 11 (Par 3, 306 ft) and hole 12 (Par 4, 556 ft). RAE Red, RPA Gold, RAD White and RAH Blue each have one seat filled and plenty of room for more, so challengers of every color should bring a bag and come cast a shadow.
Five Hundred Dollars Still Staring Back 💰
The Super Ace prize stands at $500.00, untouched and waiting for someone to turn one tee shot into the best night of their season. The chains are patient. The prize is very patient.
Building Gondor One Toonie at a Time
Thanks to the league for its $2.00 registration contribution to the course fund this event. The project now sits at $338.50 raised (34%) toward a $1,000.00 goal with $661.50 to go, so pitch in at the Jones Course Fund and help Jones Park get the upgrades it deserves.
The Crowns Survived Their Own Reflection 👑
A three-hole heater from 2 through 4 set the tone for Bradley Bushman in RPA Gold, and a bogey-free back nine finished the job. His -8 on a 986-rated round was the round of the day. Two weeks after the grievance filings of Week 6, nobody filed any paperwork against him this time, and he still played like the motion was pending. Over in RAE Red, Andrew Fisher signed for +7 with a front nine 3 strokes better than his back. His 821 trails last week's 862, which means he has a perfectly good mirror to chase next Friday.
The Fellowship Is Forming Committees Now 📋
Faction Night arrives Friday, November 20, for Week 9, back on the AR.RAL All Star layout at Jones Park. According to the lore, four companies will aggregate their scores while the One Tag's holder plays unaffiliated, deciding whether to step in or stay apart. Toler's 48-point surge makes him the first recruit every company will be courting. I'm just the woman with the clipboard who has to write this AI-generated saga down.
Register here, and track your round on PDGA Live so the lorekeeper has stats to quote. Four companies built out of a four-player league means every faction is one guy and a dramatic banner, and I already know who's going to call a committee meeting about it.
