If you guessed that they’re all topics that will be explored through the lens of Pellucid’s unconventional thinking in the January issue of The Pellucid Perspective, you’re right! While the other industry trade publications are wall-to-wall with who’s exhibiting at the PGA Merchandising Show or what the PGA TOUR pros are doing in the off season, Pellucid is digging into meaty business issues that will impact the equipment, facility operator and municipal golf course industry sectors in 2011:
• Which companies or ownership groups will emerge to “kick the tires” of Acushnet in a sale event or will it get spun off as a separate public company and what are the potential impacts to the equipment manufacturer landscape as a result?
• Is Groupon a “good witch or a bad witch” for the average facility operator and is it ideally suited for the golf facility as a retail outlet compared to things like restaurants, dry cleaners and hair salons/barber shops?
• An Ohio Tax Commissioner’s ruling could cost the city of Cincinnati nearly $2 million a year in golf course property taxes. Find out why, and see if it could happen to your town.
If you’re one of the roughly 29,000 industry stakeholders and observers already plugged into Pellucid, then all you have to do is wait until 1/17/11 when it arrives in your Inbox. If you’re not yet receiving it and don’t want to rely on the benevolence of an associate to forward it to you, you can register at Pellucid’s website (http://www.pellucidcorp.com/utilities/guest.html) by checking any of the information services and we’ll get you signed up. If you do that before Monday, then you too will receive it firsthand.
If you’re not sure or concerned about the use of your email address, every Pellucid email has a quick and convenient Unsubscribe feature and we never share, rent or sell our contact list with anyone, period. It’s free and you can get out anytime so the only thing left holding you back is that we might upset your sensibilities with our unique take on some particular long-held industry belief. We think, in today’s golf economy, that’s a reasonable risk to take.
