ThrowSpot

ThrowSpot is a directory for disc golf. Every course in every state, with the stuff players actually want before they drive out. Hole counts, terrain, fees, ratings. 7,008 courses, all 50 states, real PDGA data behind it. Same bet as the calculator sites. Be the most complete answer for a specific search and let thousands of pages do the work over time.

Here's the honest bit. ThrowSpot isn't new. I started it back in May, before SideRoad was even a thing. But it just sat there. A domain with a skeleton on it and nothing real behind it. It's kind of the seed this whole ship-a-business-a-week thing grew out of.

I'm counting it as this week because this week is when it actually became a business. Loaded the full 7,008-course database, wired in the PDGA data, plotted every course on a map, gave it real branding. Went from a parked idea to an actual directory. That's why it sits at the very start. It came before the rest.

The relaunch was mostly a data job. The hard part of a directory isn't the design. It's having real, structured, trustworthy data behind every page. This week I loaded all 7,008 courses with their details and spun up a page for every course and every state, plus a live map of the whole country.

Same setup as the rest. Fast static site, built with AI, cheap hosting. Same costs. The difference is scale. Instead of a handful of calculator pages this is thousands of pages, each one aimed at a real search like a course name or a city plus disc golf.

No email capture on it yet. Right now it's a pure directory. Get people to the course data first, worry about a list later. No traffic yet either, it only went fully live today. The whole SEO climb is still ahead of it.

Nothing to show yet. It only went fully live today, so no real traffic and nothing ranking. The interesting part is the surface area. Thousands of course and state pages all hitting Google's index at once. I'll track impressions and clicks here as the first ones land. No projections, just the climb.
