Center of the Disc Golf Universe?

This fellow, Steve West, a member of the Disc Golf Course Designers group, does some nifty stuff with numbers and mapping. Check out his page showing every disc golf course in the United States [edited] as a p....

If you follow the link, he has the rest of the world. I didn't want to violate "fair use" copyright and share more in here.

Brighter lights probably represent overlapping courses meaning courses that are close enough in distance from one another to appear as one point. Cool. Would make a good tee-shirt with each point made of glow in the dark material but that's just me thinking.

[Steve West]

The size of the circle representing a course is proportional to the number of holes the course has. So, bigger courses are brighter. Also, some places have overlapping courses, which also makes for a brighter point.

I don't have the rest of the world, due to a lack of latitude and longitude data. In the U.S., the zip code gives at least approximate coordinates. I also include Canada and Mexico.

It is different by a state, but it is very splendid that there is such a course.
The Japanese courses increase little by little, too, but it is not compared with U.S.A.
It is enviable.
