NUMBERS DO NOT LIE?
I did this as a lark but found a very interesting fact. See if you can figure it out.
Based on shear number of courses...
1)Midwest 1 (578)
2)Midwest 2 (548)
3)South 1 (361)
4)South 3 (308)
5)West 2 (294)
6)West 1 (259)
7)South 2 (177)
8)Mid Atlantic (144)
9)New England (102)
However since this is an OPINION pole if you go by a 4 disc rating or higher...
1) Midwest 1 (54)
2) Midwest 2 (51)
3) South 1 (46)
4)West 2 (30)
5) Tie...
South 3 (27)
West 1 (27)
6) South 2 (24)
7) New England (21)
8) Mid Atlantic (13)
However, we are talking about the best which is quality over quantity then the results really change. I took the total number of courses per region and the total number of courses rated 4 discs or higher and it really changes...
1) New England (20.6% of courses 4 or higher)
2) South 2 (13.6% of courses 4 or higher)
3) South 1 (12.7% of courses 4 or higher)
4) West 1 (10.4% of courses 4 or higher)
5) West 2 (10.2% of courses 4 or higher)
6) Tie...
Midwest 1 (9.3% of courses 4 or higher)
Midwest 2 (same)
7) Mid Atlantic (9.0% of courses 4 or higher)
8) South 2 (8.7% of courses 4 or higher)
Top 5 States for total courses...
1) Texas (206)
2) California (158)
3) Tie...
Wisconsin (148)
Iowa (148)
5) Minnesota (146)
Top 5 With 4 or more discs
Texas (21)
Minnesota (17)
Iowa (16)
Wisconsin (16)
North Carolina (13)
Indiana (13)
Top 5 Percentage of 4 or higher compared to total courses
West Virginia (35.7%)
Maine (35.5%)
Vermont (30.7%)
Indiana (20.6%)
New Mexico (19.2)
Utah (19.0%)
The argument is truly quantity versus quality. In almost every case if they have lots of courses than quality suffers. If few courses than quality goes way up.
Personally it is quality for me. What about you?
