For those who enjoy statistics, the 1984 Course Directory had six Canadian courses, two of which were misidentified temporary courses. 1986 listed an additional eight Scandinavian courses. The 1990 directory had 32 non-US courses, 1993 listed 50, 1995=110, 2002=219, 2007=337, year-end 2011=499, year-end 2015=1113 and year-end 2021 showed 2614 active courses.
