73. Something's Missing
Hello hello! Hope your October is nice and puzzly. For baseball fans, the journey of Adolis Garcia continues! What an incredible Game 1 against the Rangers and the Diamondbacks last night. I tend to root for NL always (because of the Cubs!), but the Rangers are proving to any of the naysayers that they absolutely deserve to be there. May the best team win!

1. Puzzle #72 answer: JUST GOING FOR A DRIVE
Correct entries: 51, of which 35 or so were solo.
Shortest explanation: Based on the golf hints (18-letter phrase, "course," AUGUSTA in the middle), 18 entries' start with PAR. Extract the nth letter from that word, where n is the par of that respective hole on the Augusta course. The letters spell JUST GOING FOR A DRIVE, a fittingly putting answer for meta #72, total par on a standard golf course.
For more minute-by-minute fun on how this was created (in an absolute blitz), see here.

2. This meta was not written in 12 hours, haha. I'm thinking about a Level 3 or 3.5, but only time will tell!
Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

The answer to the meta is a 2-word, 10-letter phrase.
