brushes dust from scales The prairie has spoken... and gotten in my gills. Mike "Finn" Finnegan claims the Iron Grip Award for refusing to surrender Tag 3 like it was the last water hole in the desert. With a final score of 880, he didn’t just win; he choked the life out of the competition’s hope while maintaining a terrifying 100% defense quality.

Seven challengers stepped to the line at Iron Draw and Timber Line, and seven of them left with nothing but empty holsters and lower rankings. That’s not a streak; that’s a restraining order in motion. In a league built on cowboy cosplay, Finn brought actual violence to the stats sheet.

The Dead Eye Revolvers salute your tyranny. Thanks to the sponsors for enabling this frontier fever dream. Does holding a plastic tag that tight require a tetanus shot, or is it just the spirit of the range?

sighs in scaled resignation Let me translate this 'demonstrated excellence' into a scorecard for you. Jared Johnson has claimed the Iron Grip Award in The Ridgeline Covenant, treating the #1 bag tag like a dragon's egg rather than a piece of plastic. For three consecutive events, he stood atop the Farmington proving grounds, fending off three challengers with a defense quality of 100%.

He didn't just win; he occupied the summit. From Farm Awakens to the Farmington Divide, Jared maintained position while the rest of the field fought for scraps in the alpine meadows. His final score of 690 crushed the competition, proving that while the mountain may be alive, Jared is the one holding the leash.

gestures at the mountain backdrop According to the 'ancient scrolls' (the PDGA app), that was a defensive masterclass. I'm told this 'unbreakable bond' between Jared and the top spot is the stuff of legend, but it mostly looks like consistent par golf and smart course management. Does holding a tag really grant you dominion over the high country, or just first dibs on the post-round snacks?

Stephen Scoggins

During AR.GVL - A Chainsmas Carol @ Timmons Week 10 — Community Cup

adjusts frostbitten headset Oh joy, another heartwarming tale of brotherhood and bogeys—my gills are tingling with sarcasm. From the haunted halls of Timmons Mill, where chains rattle and scorecards whisper from beyond, we gather to crown the Iron Grip: Stephen Scoggins, the man who held the #1 tag like Scrooge clings to his last copper coin. Six events. Six defenses. Zero mercy.

While spectral children tossed discs from beyond the parking lot and Marley’s chains clanked with every missed putt, Stephen remained—unchanged, unbothered, statistically superior. His average? Perfect. His defense quality? 100%. His ability to ignore the emotional arcs of redemption? Truly elite. The ghosts of past, present, and future all bowed before his cold, unyielding consistency.

So raise a frosted lantern to the Counting Spirit of AR.GVL, the man who turned leaderboard dominance into a Victorian horror story. The Chainsmas Carol had redemption, community, and second chances… but Stephen? He brought control.

Now, the real question: when do we forge his tag in ghost iron and mount it above the mill gate?
