So you remember that time I made the thread about my sister doing the stats project and I suggested she use the course database and she did and then she came up with the best places to live for high quality disc golf based on a 30 mile radius?
Well I have been super bored at work lately and I just updated it. If you don't know what I'm talking about go here https://www.dgcoursereview.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81083.
The basics are for a course to qualify it has to be in a 30 mile radius from the little red X on the map. It also has to have 5+ reviews and be rated a 3.0 or higher. I also did my super best to not let courses overlap between places except for a select few where they were basically both 30 miles from the X and it was one course overlapping. For the top 30 places I found I also used the browse function to attempt to locate courses not on the map. All the courses within said radius are added and multiplied by the square of the average rating.
Sum * Avg^2
The city listed is either the biggest city near the X or whatever name is nearest the X where there is no big city that close to it. The X's are almost never directly on the dot where the city is located, it's in the premium position to accrue the highest score. Also the <# or ># indicates how many places the city went down <# or up ># from the original list. In cases where the X moved and a different town/city is listed use your brain to figure it out I've done enough.
The following is the Top 25 places for super high quality disc golf. If you don't like how this is done I super don't care it's a list it's made for us to argue about. So argue.
