February Golf Weather Impact: Mild Winter Pattern Continues
February’s weather impact turned in a 4th consecutive month of gains as Golf Playable Hours (GPH) were up 9%. That’s slightly below January’s double-digit gain slightly tempering the Year-to-Date (YtD) result to +15%.
Played Rounds for January published by Golf Datatech followed weather directionally higher with a healthy 11% gain which lagged the positive GPH results, producing a 4-point lag in Utilization vs. the ’19 YE figure. With only one month reporting, the YtD results are the same as the January month.
