Dot Technology

Every year there is a fantastic disc golf tournament held in Rock Hill South Carolina. This tournament is the biggest in the sport of disc golf and features the top 190 golfers every year. There are over 20 tournaments throughout the year that offer a chance at qualifying for the USDGC if you can finish in the top 5 spots.

Myself and several others including Jonathan Poole, Mike Norris and Chris MacLeod have all contributed into making this into a unique and innovative way to follow the action while sitting at your desk or phone during the Championship. I built all the graphics in Photoshop, and the web functionality in flash. We have a special way of communicating to the trailer dot where the shot has landed on the course, and he in turn plots the throw and uploads the jpg to the server.

If you are interested in how you can provide this action for your golf tournament or if you want to hire us, please contact us here.

LEAD GROUP: On the top of the screen, you can click to open the lead group set of photos. This section also pulls in the scores and checks for updates every 15 seconds. You can find which color dot belongs to who, but remember, the red dot is always in the lead at the beginning of the round. Click it again, and it closes.

DOT ARCHIVE: You shall find all the archived holes played throughout the week in the archive. Click to open and persue between the tabs to see the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday archives. If it has not yet happened, there will be no graphic present. Click the archive again, and it closes. You can also use the button, “Go to current hole” to return to the action. If you want to see all of the details of a hole, please visit our online caddy book.
