I heard some stats today regarding public golf. Specifically muni golf in 2020. They blew my mind..
Now first consider that ever state for at least some point of time was closed last year.
Now look at these.
Out of over 300 superintendents polled
Almost 65% of showed a profit.
Almost 90% at least broke even.
Consider those while at the same time food and beverage sales where almost nonexistent and many cancelled large group outings and tournaments.
Every course had there highest rounds played by double digits.
One course side it was the highest they had seen since the tiger era
Another course said it was the highest they had seen since the 80s.
Every course is expecting 2021 to continue in this trend.
I think this is fantastic!!! Let’s keep this going. Please USGA. Take a look at this. Then take a look at the previous 15 years where the game shrunk and shrunk and shrunk. Here in my area in the last 10 years four courses have closed..
Please USGA, let’s take these new golfers and welcome them and embrace them. Let get new courses being built to supply the demand. The game is at an amazing tipping point that can go either way!!
