November Golf Weather Impact: Nice upward bump, but late

November’s weather impact turned in a nice gain as Golf Playable Hours (GPH) were up 5%. That pulls the Year-to-Date (YtD) figure back into fractional positive territory at +0.1%.

Played Rounds for October published by Golf Datatech registered a 2nd consecutive “daily double” with rounds demand up 4% which also handily beat the negative GPH results producing a Utilization gain as well. For the YtD period, rounds are now slightly up beating basically flat weather through 10 months.
