And I even forgot to mention The Cave! About an hour and change from the arch

Climate Index = Rodney's made-up formula using the climate data.
It's been 9 years ago, but I think I originally intended for it to roughly represent the number of reasonable disc-golfable days per year. (Hard cores golf 365 days a year!)
Des Moines - end thread (badly)
No wonder Google was stumped!
That's cool. It'd be fun to put different formulas in, but that's a huge thread drift. (I'll only say that, if anything I'd ADD wind average. Where's your sense of fun?).
I could send you the spreadsheet of raw climate data. Or put it up on Google Docs. Hours and hours of nerdly fun. I pulled down humidity and maybe some others too, but didn't use them.

I disgree. Des Moines is a terribly boring place to live, but is LOADED dg wise - I always thought Charlotte was one of the best until I heard how "bad" the courses were for Worlds. Tulsa is another city loaded with good courses
Here are the top 60 places, ranked and scored by quantity of disc golf nearby, based on a formula which gives more weight to bigger courses that are closer (not just "within" an arbitrary radius - a flawed method which tends to pick places that have a lot of courses out on the edge of the radius).

Yes please? I would like to have some nerdly fun with your raw climate data.
I feel like the cave adds to the climate talk in that if you live there, it doesn't matter what the weather is. 0degree blizzard outside? long sleeve shirt weather in the cave. 110 sweltering at JB? Natural AC in the cave.
