Alcantra was a dream.
Meier Lake was a challenge.
But Peters Creek?
Peters Creek was a reckoning.
Hidden in the dense forests of Chugiak, this week’s battleground was no friend to disc golfers.
Fairways? More like suggestions.
Rivers? Real.
Bears? Possible.
Birdies? Rare.
Ratings? Brutal.
Trial Seven wasn’t just another week.
It was a reminder of what the Trials are meant to be.
???? Tier A – Kelly Claims the Forest
Kelly Allen (-5) entered Tier A with fire—and now he's officially Tier A’s new alpha.
While others scrambled for footing, Kelly floated through the trees, turning a punishing course into a proving ground.
Behind him:
Isaiah Gall (-3) and Frank Costales (-3) battled well, navigating the chaos with calm.
Allen Black (-2) and Naz Munoz (-2) kept pace, holding their ground in a field full of danger.
Further back:
Dave Rector (E) and Thomas Voight (+2) couldn’t quite adapt to the madness—but with three Trials remaining, they’re far from finished.
Michael Chung (+3) held his own in his first full week at the top.
But this week belonged to Kelly—the forest bent, and he didn’t.
⚔️ Tier B – Moon Rises in the Trees
Weslee Moon (-4) came out of nowhere to dominate Tier B in Peters Creek, handling the uneven footing, tight gaps, and OB lines like he’d played there a dozen times.
A logjam of consistency behind him:
Alex Strawn (E)
Jeremy Ratliff (E)
Patrick Phelps (+1)
Jake Ratliff (+1)
River Miller (+1)
All fought hard and stayed afloat, but none could match Moon’s precision.
The middle of the tier got messy:
Christopher Foley (+2) and Cory Adams (+2) led the second wave.
Andrew Bozone (+4), Wayne Danjin (+4), David Griffin (+5), Scott Bowen (+5), and Robin White (+5) felt every inch of the forest press in.
Tier B is still the deepest tier… but the top is starting to separate from the rest.
???? Tier C – Gage Stays Steady
Gage Mercer (+2) didn’t light up the scoreboard this week—but when the course is Peters Creek, +2 is survival.
Jerrin Fabrallo (+6) fought through tough lines and tougher luck. Still in the fight, still battling.
Notably absent:
Adam Fogelman and Selven Christianson. If they’re returning next week, they’ll be playing catch-up on points.
???? Tier D – Travis Joins the Battle
A new face, Travis Martin (+10), entered Tier D and immediately made waves—earning the top spot in a brutal debut week.
Carrie Foley (+12) and Rheannon Fabrallo (+22) took hits in the forest.
They’ve survived worse. But Trial Seven took its toll.
???? Next Week: Return to Alcantra
The players will breathe a sigh of relief as they return to Alcantra for Trial Eight.
But the Valley isn’t done yet.
The scores may go back down.
But the pressure? It only rises.
And looming on the horizon…
⚠️ Week 9: The Dreaded Meier Lake – Long to Long
The Trial everyone fears.
The layout that breaks spirits.
Meier Lake – Long to Long.
You’ve been warned.
⛓️ Trial Seven ends. Three remain.
The forest took many, but those who escaped now carry something deeper:
Respect. Fear. And focus.
Respect the Trials. Survive the Valley.
