Disc Golf being the fastest growing sport in Finland, we decided to prepare a chart that shows the "state of Disc Golf" in Finland compared to the biggest Disc Golf states in US (that gives the best perspective between the two). Numbers have been pulled from PDGA.com (courses, members) and wikipedia (population). Finnish numbers are from national sources.
What makes this interesting is that number of courses established a year. Last year saw 80 courses and this year looks about the same. The growth rate is pretty crazy. My estimation is that in three years there are 200 courses more and 200,000 people play Disc Golf in Finland. That´s around 4% of the whole population.
