“Ten weeks of ice. Ten weeks of grit. And now the freeze finally breaks.”

The final round of Frozen Mat-Su arrived with the same thing players had battled all winter — cold fingers, stubborn snow, and chains that never get softer. Ten weeks of frozen rounds came down to one last walk through Alcantra, and the final leaderboard didn’t disappoint.

???? A Tier — Rector Closes the Winter

The final week belonged to Dave Rector, who finished the league with a sharp -7, calmly navigating the frozen fairways to take the last A-tier win of the season.

Close behind him were two of the winter’s most dangerous scorers:

Frank Costales — -6, finishing strong after his huge Week 9 performance.

Justin Foster — -6, the man behind the league’s 1001-rated round earlier in the season.

The rest of the top tier battled hard to close out the winter cycle:

Naz Munoz — -4

Allen Black — -3

Thomas Voight — Even

Kelly Allen — +1

Patrick Phelps — +2

Ten weeks of cold golf proved once again that A-tier is a rotating battlefield — every week a different name stepping into the spotlight.

???? B Tier — Fogelman Finishes on Top

Adam Fogelman stepped up when it mattered most, finishing the finale with a -3 to take the last B-tier win of the Frozen season.

The chase behind him stayed tight:

Christopher Foley — Even, grinding through another steady round.

Scott Foster — Even, right alongside him.

Aaron Richardson — +1, battling through the last icy round.

Alex Strawn — +6, finding Whispering Doakes and winter rough one last time.

???? C Tier — The Long Winter Ends

The final C-tier standings wrapped up another grind through snow and frozen chains:

Jerrin Fabrello — +6

Damian Delgado — +8

Wilson Jennings — +9

Rheannon Fabrello — +15

Winter golf is never about perfect scores — it’s about showing up when it’s cold enough that most people stay home.

????️ Frozen Mat-Su — The Story of the Season

Over 10 weeks, the league saw:

A 1001-rated round from Justin Foster

Multiple -10 and better rounds despite winter conditions

Snow rounds, deep rough, and frozen chains

Players grinding through Alaska winter golf week after week

And most importantly — a community still throwing discs when the rest of the state is staying inside.

❄️ Frozen Mat-Su 2026 is in the books.
The snow will melt eventually…

…but the chains will still be waiting. ⛓️

“The thaw is coming… but not yet.”

With only one week left in the Frozen Mat-Su season, Week 9 delivered fireworks. The snow may still line the fairways, but the scores are heating up at exactly the right time.

After Justin’s 1001-rated statement in Week 8, the field responded. And this week? It was Frank’s turn.

???? A Tier — Frank Fires Back

Frank Costales stepped into the cold and absolutely owned it, firing an incredible -11. Clean lines. Confident putting. No hesitation. It was the kind of round that reminds everyone why he’s always a threat when things tighten up late.

Right behind him:

Kelly Allen — -10, staying relentless. He refuses to let anyone run away with it.

Naz Munoz — -9, another high-level performance in what’s become an A-tier arms race.

Thomas Voight — -8, steady and dangerous heading into the finale.

Allen Black — -4, grinding through a tougher day.

Josh Jarvis — -1, battling the frozen footing and finishing strong.

A Tier is peaking at exactly the right time. Week 10 is shaping up to be a showdown.

???? B Tier — Deadlocked at the Top

The B-tier battle is tightening to a razor’s edge.

Christopher Foley and Adam Fogelman both dropped -7, refusing to give an inch. Matching rounds. Matching intensity.

Scott Bowen and Alex Strawn both carded -5, keeping themselves right in the conversation.

Aaron Richardson — -4, staying consistent.

Wayne Danjin — -2, holding steady.

Scott Foster — Even, grinding through.

There’s no clear separation here. One hot round next week could flip everything.

???? C Tier — Quiet Grind

Jerrin Fabrello led C with a clean -1, showing poise under pressure.

Wilson Jennings posted +2, still pushing.

Rheannon Fabrello finished at +12, continuing to fight through the frozen stretch.

????️ One Week Left.

Nine weeks of cold.
Nine weeks of snow.
Nine weeks of frozen fingers and frozen chains.

Now it all comes down to Week 10.

Will A Tier explode again?
Will B Tier separate?
Will someone steal the spotlight one last time?

The ice hasn’t melted yet.
And neither has the competition.

“When the ice settles… legends step forward.” Week 8 felt different from the first throw. The cold hung heavy, the chains sounded sharper, and the scoring turned electric. What should have be ... show more ›

“When the ice settles… legends step forward.”

Week 8 felt different from the first throw. The cold hung heavy, the chains sounded sharper, and the scoring turned electric. What should have been another frozen grind turned into an absolute showcase — the kind of week people talk about long after the snow melts.

???? A Tier — The Night Justin Took Over

This week belonged to Justin Foster.
A blistering -12 tore through the course — a round so clean it earned a 1001-rated round, marking one of the finest performances of the Frozen Mat-Su season. Every line hit. Every putt committed. Pure execution.

But the chase was intense:

Allen Black — -11, one stroke behind and absolutely on fire.

Naz Munoz — -10, proving the top card has no weak links.

Isaiah Gall — -9, steady and deadly.

Patrick Phelps, Thomas Voight, and Dave Rector — all locked at -6, refusing to fall out of the hunt.

Kelly Allen — -5, still dangerous even on a “quiet” day by his standards.

A Tier looked less like a league round and more like a championship card.

???? B Tier — Quiet Precision

Adam Smithers delivered a commanding -8, setting the pace with calm, controlled golf.

Christopher Foley and Alex Strawn both posted -4, keeping the pressure steady.

Scott Foster chipped in at -2, and

Adam Fogelman finished at -1, grinding through another cold round.

B Tier continues to tighten — every stroke matters now.

???? C Tier — The Long Climb

Jerrin Fabrello led the tier at +4, holding steady despite the freezing conditions.

Wilson Jennings followed with +6, still pushing forward in the snow.

Rheannon Fabrello battled through to a +15, proving once again that showing up in the cold counts for something.

????️ Week 8 Takeaway

Frozen Mat-Su keeps getting hotter while the air gets colder.
Justin’s 1001-rated round resets expectations — and sends a message to everyone chasing the top.

With only a couple weeks left, the ice is starting to crack… and the final stretch is coming fast.

Week 7 brought the league to Whispering Doakes, a course that always seems to whisper bad ideas into your ear right before you throw. The early start got everyone out in the cold before noon so players could get home for the big game—but first, they had to survive the woods.

The air was sharp, the lines tighter than Alcantra, and scores reflected a course that rewards patience more than power.

???? A Tier — The Cold War Continues

Kelly Allen kept the pressure high with a strong -5, proving once again why he’s one of the frozen favorites this season.

Justin Foster stayed right behind at -4, never letting Kelly out of reach.

Jake Ratliff fought through the woods for a -2, steady but searching for that explosive round.

Patrick Phelps posted -1, grinding every fairway for position.

Thomas Voight finished at even, the course biting back against one of the league’s usual top threats.

Whispering Doakes didn’t hand out easy birdies — and A Tier felt every one of them.

???? B Tier — Foley Freezes the Field

Christopher Foley absolutely owned the woods this week with a commanding -7, the best score in B and a round that felt almost effortless.

Alex Strawn held together at +1, surviving the chaos.

Adam Fogelman and Jeremy Ratliff both struggled to find rhythm, each finishing at +7 as Doakes punished every mistake.

A reminder that this course doesn’t care about momentum — one bad kick and you’re fighting for survival.

???? C Tier — The Long Walk Through Snow

Wilson Jennings battled through for +12, holding off the rest of the tier.

Jax Ratliff followed at +18, still grinding in the winter conditions.

Rheannon Fabrello finished at +22, proving once again that persistence matters more than perfect scores in the frozen months.

????️ Looking Ahead

Week 7 showed what happens when the Frozen Mat-Su league leaves the comfort of open fairways and enters the trees. Scores tightened, tempers cooled, and every shot required focus.

With only a few weeks left before the thaw, the race for each tier is beginning to sharpen. The ice isn’t melting yet — and neither is the competition.

Conditions: Packed snow, frozen chains, and near-perfect skies. The Valley held its breath as scores dropped—and one player lit up the course.

???? A-Tier: A Blizzard of Birdies

Kelly Allen went full frostbite mode, torching the field with an -11, tying the lowest round of the series so far and nearly flirting with that elusive 1000-rated line again.
Justin Foster kept pressure on the board with a strong -7, and Thomas Voight followed closely behind with a confident -6, keeping the top tier as tight as a frozen fairway.

❄️ B-Tier: Ice Meets Fire

Christopher Foley carved his name into Week 5 with a clean -6, including an ace on short 11, igniting cheers and stealing the spotlight. It was cold, but Foley was on fire.
Aaron Richardson continues his winter grind with a solid -4, refusing to fade as the season deepens.
Adam Fogelman and Scott Foster matched pace at -2, proving consistency is key when the ice refuses to melt.

???? C-Tier: The Frozen Climb

Wilson Jennings was nearly even with the elements, carding a respectable +1 as he adapts well to the C-Tier pressure.
Rheannon Fabrello, back in the snow-covered fight, came in at +5, still trudging forward in the frost one step at a time.

Week 6 we play the longs!

Conditions: A deceptively calm week—no wind, no storms—but that didn’t stop the course from biting back. Snow still clung stubbornly to the fairways, and the chains rang colder than ever.

???? A-Tier: Fire Through Ice

Justin Foster dropped in for his Frozen Mat-Su debut and instantly made his presence known, carding an icy-cold -8 to take the win.
Kelly Allen, never far from the top, followed close behind with a -7, still chasing that perfect storm of a 1000-rated round.
Patrick Phelps held steady at -4, reminding the field that even in this chill, he’s always within striking distance.

❄️ B-Tier: The Ice Doesn’t Care

Aaron Richardson continues his silent march toward B-Tier dominance, taking the week with a clean -6—no flash, just cold precision.
Adam Fogelman chipped away at the frost with a -2, while Scott Foster slipped in at -1—steady hands in slippery conditions.
Christopher Foley, despite a rocky start, ground out a +1 in a week where every par was earned, not given. The fire’s still there—but the snow makes it harder to burn.

???? C-Tier: The Snowmen’s Gauntlet

Wilson Jennings battled through snow-packed fairways and icy tee pads to finish with +9.
Still adjusting to his elevation from D-Tier, Wilson’s fight continues—not just against the course, but to prove he belongs among the cold-blooded competitors of Tier C.

???? A-Tier: Silent Strikes in the Snow

With 1 to 2 feet of snow blanketing the battlefield, ground play was nonexistent—every throw had to be perfect. And Kelly Allen delivered once again, carding a deadly -7, carving through the freeze. Thomas Voight wasn’t far behind at -6, methodically executing his plan. Dave Rector held his own with a -3, navigating the cold with seasoned precision. The fairways were silent, but these three made their throws speak volumes.

????️ B-Tier: No Slips, No Mercy

The cold didn’t stop Christopher Foley and Jeremy Ratliff, both freezing their scores at -4, tied for top tier dominance. Alex Strawn added a smooth -2 to his stat line, while the snow swallowed skips and rolls. Each drive landed with a muffled thud, each putt made or missed told the story of frigid focus. There was no room for the casual here.

???? C-Tier: Fresh Footprints

This week marked Kevin Vacca’s first-ever sanctioned disc golf event—a baptism by snow. With +4, he held his own on a course where experience is everything and footing is nothing. Kevin didn’t just play—he showed up and earned his place in the league’s cold crucible.

Joining him now in C-Tier is Wilson Jennings, promoted to stoke the competition. Wilson posted a +7 under the same frozen conditions, battling both the course and his own rising expectations. He’s no longer the quiet storm in D-Tier—he’s now in the fight.

????️ Conditions Report

Snow Depth: 1 to 2 feet

Temperature: Icebox cold

Ground Play: Nonexistent

Mental Game: Essential

This wasn’t a week of big winds or bad bounces. This was raw, punishing Alaska: deep snow, frozen chains, and no forgiveness.

???? Week 4 Approaches

The snow isn't melting. The pressure's only rising.
Who will rise above the freeze, and who will crack beneath it?

Stay sharp. Stay warm. The ice isn't done yet.

Date: January 4, 2026
Conditions: Cold, crisp, and unusually still — a rare blessing in the Valley. Players took advantage, unleashing some impressive rounds.

????️ A Tier – Duel at the Top

Two of the Valley's most seasoned warriors, Kelly Allen and Dave Rector, matched blow for blow — both carding blistering -9 rounds.
Just behind them, Patrick Phelps and Thomas Voight came in strong at -7, refusing to let the leaders rest easy. The top of A Tier is tightening fast — one missed putt could be the difference in Week 3.

????️ B Tier – Griffin Soars

David Griffin stepped up with a commanding -6, pulling ahead of the B pack this week.
Christopher Foley posted a respectable -2, but with competition heating up, he’ll need to channel that familiar frostbitten fire to stay in the chase.

???? D Tier – Battling the Elements

As snow dusted the fairways, Wilson Jennings and Damian Delgado braved the chill to finish at +5 and +6 respectively.
A tight race is brewing in D — will Wilson keep the edge, or will Damian find his rhythm next week?

But noticeably absent from the frosty battlefield were Carrie Foley and Rheannon Fabrello, two of the fiercest competitors in the D tier. Perhaps the blizzard scared them off—or maybe they just knew the chains would bite too hard that day. Either way, their absence left a chill that not even the ace runs could warm.

Here’s hoping they return soon… before the ice claims their divisions for good.

???? What's Ahead...

Week 3 looms as temperatures drop even further and players dig deep to find their groove in the frozen wilds.
The cold may numb the hands, but the competition burns hotter than ever.

Stay frosty.

“Where the wind bites harder than the bogeys.”

The chill is here—and it showed no mercy.

Week 1 of the Frozen Mat-Su league opened with piercing winds and ice-cold putts as brave players took to Alcantra to usher in the final countdown to 2026. With gusts strong enough to send discs sideways and spirits shaking in thermals, scoring low was a war of willpower more than form.

???? A Tier – The Ice Kings Battle Early

Dave Rector was the last man standing above the freeze line, carding a solid +1 in brutal conditions.

Kelly Allen and Thomas Voight tried to weather the storm, both finishing at +3, though both showed flashes of warmth with aggressive play that just couldn’t fight through the gusts on the final stretch.

???? B Tier – Grit Through the Gusts

Aaron Richardson gritted out a +2, topping B Tier and holding off the inevitable winter rust.

Christopher Foley stayed composed at +5, showing the steadiness that could become dangerous once the wind dies down.

Alex Strawn and Wayne Danjin both braved the headwinds and hanging branches for matching +6 finishes.

????️ Frozen Forecast:

It’s only Week 1, and already the cold has teeth. With more Arctic rounds to come and 9 weeks left in the season, one thing’s certain—this isn’t for the faint of heart.

Week 2 arrives next Sunday at 2 PM. Bring your layers. Bring your fire.
The Mat-Su may be frozen—but the competition is just heating up.
