Lose the globe and make it a rectangular map, so it can show the entire golf-worthy world?

The basic design is a takeoff on old, classic maps. In particular, I stumbled across one on a gift bag when I was buying a gca book, Geoff Shackelford most likely, at Borders a lifetime ago.
Speaking generally, you never want to print a big rectangle OR a big circle on someone's chest on a t shirt - it's considered a faux pas because it looks like a bullseye on someone's chest in the case of a circle, or a poster in the case of a rectangle. If I were inclined to redesign this - and I gotta be honest, I'm not, for a lot of reasons - I'd probably go with the funky, pointy ovals you used to see on the really old maps. But I do think the banner above and key below do an adequate job of breaking up the bullseye.
Pete -
If you zoom in enough on the navy/sepia t, you'll see I already secreted Tasmania onto this one, for personal reasons.
I do think I'll add Nova Scotia, not sure about Bandon.
Of course, for the right donation to golfclubatlas, I might just put anything on the map!

As for the mechanics of how I'd do it this time round, I'd probably say email your info - Name, shipping address, shirt size - and paypal me the money. My email is geopazin@gmail.com, and that's my paypal account name as well. I'm thinking $13 per t, of which $5-10 will get donated to gca, depending on the shipping to you. I don't know much about shipping t's overseas, I will have to look into that. Last time, there were only 4-5, and I think I just ate it, but I think we have more overseas posters now, and while I'm no longer poor, I'm not exactly flush either....
XXL and XXXL are available - actually I can get as big as a 5X, but probably not in the same soft t I'd do for the others. I'm leaning toward a Next Level t that is really popular with our clients right now, I think I can get one in a vintage navy that would work well in making it look, well, vintage.
When I have the totals, I'll paypal the site one big donation, and let everyone know what it came to.
I'm crazy this week, as I'm on vacation next week, so I definitely won't be printing or shipping anything till early July at the soonest. Actually, we tend to slow down for a couple weeks in mid July, so that would be a good time to do these. If you're interested, try to email me details by, say July 10th or so.
Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
Thanks Dave M for getting the ball rolling!
