The explosion of disc golf across the landscape continues to reverberate into new corners. While the PDGA does not keep statistics on non-members, the 1999 data gives us a window through which we can extrapolate disc golf's total global impact. If we were a stock exchange, we'd be enjoying a bull market of steady and unquestioned growth.
