January Golf Weather Impact: Mild Winter Weather “Tide” Raising All Boats

January’s weather impact turned in a 3rd consecutive month of gains as Golf Playable Hours (GPH) were up 21% (wow!). With only one month reporting, that also represents the Year-to-Date (YtD) result.

Played Rounds for December published by Golf Datatech showed a healthy 8% gain which matched Pellucid’s previously-reported positive GPH results, producing flat Utilization. For the YtD period, rounds finished the year modestly up (+1.5%) which resulted in a fractional gain in Utilization (not a great weather year vs. the 10-yr norm, we’ll take it).
