December Golf Weather Impact: Strong Finish Should Help Full Season Markets
December’s weather impact turned in a 2nd consecutive month of gains as Golf Playable Hours (GPH) were up 8%. That puts the year end finish in positive territory (fractionally) at +0.4%.
Played Rounds for November published by Golf Datatech registered a 4th consecutive month of Utilization gain with rounds demand up 10% which also handily beat the positive GPH results. For the YtD period, rounds continue slightly up beating basically flat weather through 11 months.
