August Utilization continues to soar!
September weather finished similar to August’s results as Golf Playable Hours (GPH) fell 2.3% compared to the same month Year-Ago (YA). That slightly negative result marginally eroded the Year-to-Date (YtD) favorability which continues to sit at +1%. Subscribers to either the Pellucid Publications Membership or the Geographic Weather Impact report get the 45 regional breakdowns, the 61 markets figures, the day-of-week weather impact and the Year-End National GPH forecast figure as well as our full commentary on the results every month.
Played Rounds for August published by Golf Datatech posted a 3rd consecutive month of double-digit gains (wow!). August rounds were +21% and that edges out July for “best month” honors and makes it two consecutive months of 20%+ growth in “comps”. The combination of slightly declining weather and the 20%+ rounds improvement produced a 12 point Utilization gain, surging to ~65% for the month.
