SUMMARY:Witty Wednesdays - Trivia
DESCRIPTION:There are a lot more individuals and entities in the golf industry than you might think — a fact my inbox will attest to. While I only get a fraction of the emails others in the business receive\, I hear enough from all corners to know that many people consider the golf industry far more than just an avocation. \nOne entity whose correspondence I always review closely is the National Golf Foundation (NGF)\, which consistently keeps its proverbial finger on the pulse of the game of golf. In my daily interactions\, I often reference their data and mix in my interpretations of what it means for the past\, present\, and future of golf participation. This post is a primary example of that. \nGolf Industry Growth After 2020\nThe data and insight NGF provides are always easily digestible. They often use the year 2020 as a before-and-after analytical marker — a wise choice given golf’s natural alignment with social distancing. Before COVID (BC)\, golf had been in a roughly 20-year decline\, with the game seen as ‘stodgy’ and ‘elitist’ in certain corners. Courses were closing in many markets\, and the industry showed a general reluctance to evolve. Golf\, by nature\, is defined by stringent rules\, after all. \nThen came the pandemic\, and the tides — as you may have ascertained — have turned. \nComing off what NGF refers to as a “20-year supply correction\,” during which America saw a decline of roughly 3\,000 golf courses (2\,000 facilities)\, the U.S. has now recorded a record number of golfers in five of the past six years. Each of those years topped 500 million rounds played nationwide. \nFor context\, the U.S. remains the world’s best-supplied golf market. Our nearly 14\,000 facilities and 16\,000 courses make up approximately 42% of all golf courses on the planet. \nTiger Era vs. The Modern Golf Boom\nFor those who have been around long enough\, this surge represents the second major golf boom this century. The first followed the Tiger Woods era\, when golf’s reach suggested a lasting renaissance. Clearly\, that early-2000s momentum didn’t fully hold — but there is meaningful reason for optimism this time around. \nLooking more closely at the different eras helps frame today’s golf participation trends: \nTiger Era (2000–2005): \nRounds increased about 12% compared to the prior six-year average\, and the number of golf facilities expanded 6%. \nModern Era (2020–2025): \nRounds jumped 16% versus the previous six-year average — even as the facility count declined by about 3%. \nDiversity and Junior Golf Participation Are Rising\nNGF also notes that diversity in the game is at unprecedented levels. Participation among women (8.1 million) and people of color (7.7 million) has never been higher. Meanwhile\, the number of junior golfers (ages 6–17) has increased nearly 60% since 2019 — perhaps the most telling indicator of the game’s long-term health. \nThe Rise of Off-Course and Screen Golf\nOne of the most sustainable differences between this golf boom and the last may be the emergence of off-course golf experiences. Today\, approximately 38 million people engage with golf away from traditional courses through entertainment venues\, screen golf\, and practice ranges. Compare that to fewer than 6 million range users 25 years ago. \nThis expanded ecosystem will likely remain a major driver of the game’s continued growth. \nIf you look at golf’s total reach — those who play\, watch\, read about\, or follow the game — the number now exceeds 136 million Americans\, or roughly two out of every five people. That figure is astoundingly high — and promising — if you ask me. \nWhy New Golf Courses in North County Are Unlikely\nThis is where golf’s supply-and-demand dynamic becomes especially unique. With all these positive indicators — even here in San Diego County’s near-perfect golf weather — what is the likelihood of a new golf facility being built in North County? \nNot in any of our lifetimes\, in my view. \nThe reasons are many — available land and viable access to water chief among them — and the reality is unlikely to change. For the foreseeable future\, the courses we have are the courses we will rely on. That places the responsibility squarely on existing facilities to nurture and sustain this growing love for the game. \nThe Arrowood Approach to the Modern Golf Experience\nAt Arrowood\, we are proudly among the many facilities working to enhance the modern golf experience in San Diego. We continue taking a comprehensive approach that addresses both on- and off-course aspects of a day at the golf course. \nFrom our ongoing pursuit of improved playing conditions to expanded food\, beverage\, and entertainment offerings\, I can tell you from the inside that our pursuit of a better product is one without end. \nGolf looks different today — from the purpose to the very people themselves — but for those who play\, it remains a great unifier. A maddening\, frustrating\, beautiful unifier. \nTo all those who play\, and to those who have a say\, let’s not let that slip through our fingers again. \nGB

SUMMARY:Karaoke Night
DESCRIPTION:There are a lot more individuals and entities in the golf industry than you might think — a fact my inbox will attest to. While I only get a fraction of the emails others in the business receive\, I hear enough from all corners to know that many people consider the golf industry far more than just an avocation. \nOne entity whose correspondence I always review closely is the National Golf Foundation (NGF)\, which consistently keeps its proverbial finger on the pulse of the game of golf. In my daily interactions\, I often reference their data and mix in my interpretations of what it means for the past\, present\, and future of golf participation. This post is a primary example of that. \nGolf Industry Growth After 2020\nThe data and insight NGF provides are always easily digestible. They often use the year 2020 as a before-and-after analytical marker — a wise choice given golf’s natural alignment with social distancing. Before COVID (BC)\, golf had been in a roughly 20-year decline\, with the game seen as ‘stodgy’ and ‘elitist’ in certain corners. Courses were closing in many markets\, and the industry showed a general reluctance to evolve. Golf\, by nature\, is defined by stringent rules\, after all. \nThen came the pandemic\, and the tides — as you may have ascertained — have turned. \nComing off what NGF refers to as a “20-year supply correction\,” during which America saw a decline of roughly 3\,000 golf courses (2\,000 facilities)\, the U.S. has now recorded a record number of golfers in five of the past six years. Each of those years topped 500 million rounds played nationwide. \nFor context\, the U.S. remains the world’s best-supplied golf market. Our nearly 14\,000 facilities and 16\,000 courses make up approximately 42% of all golf courses on the planet. \nTiger Era vs. The Modern Golf Boom\nFor those who have been around long enough\, this surge represents the second major golf boom this century. The first followed the Tiger Woods era\, when golf’s reach suggested a lasting renaissance. Clearly\, that early-2000s momentum didn’t fully hold — but there is meaningful reason for optimism this time around. \nLooking more closely at the different eras helps frame today’s golf participation trends: \nTiger Era (2000–2005): \nRounds increased about 12% compared to the prior six-year average\, and the number of golf facilities expanded 6%. \nModern Era (2020–2025): \nRounds jumped 16% versus the previous six-year average — even as the facility count declined by about 3%. \nDiversity and Junior Golf Participation Are Rising\nNGF also notes that diversity in the game is at unprecedented levels. Participation among women (8.1 million) and people of color (7.7 million) has never been higher. Meanwhile\, the number of junior golfers (ages 6–17) has increased nearly 60% since 2019 — perhaps the most telling indicator of the game’s long-term health. \nThe Rise of Off-Course and Screen Golf\nOne of the most sustainable differences between this golf boom and the last may be the emergence of off-course golf experiences. Today\, approximately 38 million people engage with golf away from traditional courses through entertainment venues\, screen golf\, and practice ranges. Compare that to fewer than 6 million range users 25 years ago. \nThis expanded ecosystem will likely remain a major driver of the game’s continued growth. \nIf you look at golf’s total reach — those who play\, watch\, read about\, or follow the game — the number now exceeds 136 million Americans\, or roughly two out of every five people. That figure is astoundingly high — and promising — if you ask me. \nWhy New Golf Courses in North County Are Unlikely\nThis is where golf’s supply-and-demand dynamic becomes especially unique. With all these positive indicators — even here in San Diego County’s near-perfect golf weather — what is the likelihood of a new golf facility being built in North County? \nNot in any of our lifetimes\, in my view. \nThe reasons are many — available land and viable access to water chief among them — and the reality is unlikely to change. For the foreseeable future\, the courses we have are the courses we will rely on. That places the responsibility squarely on existing facilities to nurture and sustain this growing love for the game. \nThe Arrowood Approach to the Modern Golf Experience\nAt Arrowood\, we are proudly among the many facilities working to enhance the modern golf experience in San Diego. We continue taking a comprehensive approach that addresses both on- and off-course aspects of a day at the golf course. \nFrom our ongoing pursuit of improved playing conditions to expanded food\, beverage\, and entertainment offerings\, I can tell you from the inside that our pursuit of a better product is one without end. \nGolf looks different today — from the purpose to the very people themselves — but for those who play\, it remains a great unifier. A maddening\, frustrating\, beautiful unifier. \nTo all those who play\, and to those who have a say\, let’s not let that slip through our fingers again. \nGB

Clearly\, that early-2000s momentum didn’t fully hold — but there is meaningful reason for optimism this time around. \nLooking more closely at the different eras helps frame today’s golf participation trends: \nTiger Era (2000–2005): \nRounds increased about 12% compared to the prior six-year average\, and the number of golf facilities expanded 6%. \nModern Era (2020–2025): \nRounds jumped 16% versus the previous six-year average — even as the facility count declined by about 3%. \nDiversity and Junior Golf Participation Are Rising\nNGF also notes that diversity in the game is at unprecedented levels. Participation among women (8.1 million) and people of color (7.7 million) has never been higher. Meanwhile\, the number of junior golfers (ages 6–17) has increased nearly 60% since 2019 — perhaps the most telling indicator of the game’s long-term health. \nThe Rise of Off-Course and Screen Golf\nOne of the most sustainable differences between this golf boom and the last may be the emergence of off-course golf experiences. Today\, approximately 38 million people engage with golf away from traditional courses through entertainment venues\, screen golf\, and practice ranges. Compare that to fewer than 6 million range users 25 years ago. \nThis expanded ecosystem will likely remain a major driver of the game’s continued growth. \nIf you look at golf’s total reach — those who play\, watch\, read about\, or follow the game — the number now exceeds 136 million Americans\, or roughly two out of every five people. That figure is astoundingly high — and promising — if you ask me. \nWhy New Golf Courses in North County Are Unlikely\nThis is where golf’s supply-and-demand dynamic becomes especially unique. With all these positive indicators — even here in San Diego County’s near-perfect golf weather — what is the likelihood of a new golf facility being built in North County? \nNot in any of our lifetimes\, in my view. \nThe reasons are many — available land and viable access to water chief among them — and the reality is unlikely to change. For the foreseeable future\, the courses we have are the courses we will rely on. That places the responsibility squarely on existing facilities to nurture and sustain this growing love for the game. \nThe Arrowood Approach to the Modern Golf Experience\nAt Arrowood\, we are proudly among the many facilities working to enhance the modern golf experience in San Diego. We continue taking a comprehensive approach that addresses both on- and off-course aspects of a day at the golf course. \nFrom our ongoing pursuit of improved playing conditions to expanded food\, beverage\, and entertainment offerings\, I can tell you from the inside that our pursuit of a better product is one without end. \nGolf looks different today — from the purpose to the very people themselves — but for those who play\, it remains a great unifier. A maddening\, frustrating\, beautiful unifier. \nTo all those who play\, and to those who have a say\, let’s not let that slip through our fingers again. \nGB

DESCRIPTION:There are a lot more individuals and entities in the golf industry than you might think — a fact my inbox will attest to. While I only get a fraction of the emails others in the business receive\, I hear enough from all corners to know that many people consider the golf industry far more than just an avocation. \nOne entity whose correspondence I always review closely is the National Golf Foundation (NGF)\, which consistently keeps its proverbial finger on the pulse of the game of golf. In my daily interactions\, I often reference their data and mix in my interpretations of what it means for the past\, present\, and future of golf participation. This post is a primary example of that. \nGolf Industry Growth After 2020\nThe data and insight NGF provides are always easily digestible. They often use the year 2020 as a before-and-after analytical marker — a wise choice given golf’s natural alignment with social distancing. Before COVID (BC)\, golf had been in a roughly 20-year decline\, with the game seen as ‘stodgy’ and ‘elitist’ in certain corners. Courses were closing in many markets\, and the industry showed a general reluctance to evolve.

SUMMARY:Witty Wednesdays - Trivia
DESCRIPTION:There are a lot more individuals and entities in the golf industry than you might think — a fact my inbox will attest to. While I only get a fraction of the emails others in the business receive\, I hear enough from all corners to know that many people consider the golf industry far more than just an avocation. \nOne entity whose correspondence I always review closely is the National Golf Foundation (NGF)\, which consistently keeps its proverbial finger on the pulse of the game of golf. In my daily interactions\, I often reference their data and mix in my interpretations of what it means for the past\, present\, and future of golf participation. This post is a primary example of that. \nGolf Industry Growth After 2020\nThe data and insight NGF provides are always easily digestible. They often use the year 2020 as a before-and-after analytical marker — a wise choice given golf’s natural alignment with social distancing. Before COVID (BC)\, golf had been in a roughly 20-year decline\, with the game seen as ‘stodgy’ and ‘elitist’ in certain corners. Courses were closing in many markets\, and the industry showed a general reluctance to evolve. Golf\, by nature\, is defined by stringent rules\, after all. \nThen came the pandemic\, and the tides — as you may have ascertained — have turned. \nComing off what NGF refers to as a “20-year supply correction\,” during which America saw a decline of roughly 3\,000 golf courses (2\,000 facilities)\, the U.S. has now recorded a record number of golfers in five of the past six years. Each of those years topped 500 million rounds played nationwide. \nFor context\, the U.S. remains the world’s best-supplied golf market. Our nearly 14\,000 facilities and 16\,000 courses make up approximately 42% of all golf courses on the planet. \nTiger Era vs. The Modern Golf Boom\nFor those who have been around long enough\, this surge represents the second major golf boom this century. The first followed the Tiger Woods era\, when golf’s reach suggested a lasting renaissance. Clearly\, that early-2000s momentum didn’t fully hold — but there is meaningful reason for optimism this time around. \nLooking more closely at the different eras helps frame today’s golf participation trends: \nTiger Era (2000–2005): \nRounds increased about 12% compared to the prior six-year average\, and the number of golf facilities expanded 6%. \nModern Era (2020–2025): \nRounds jumped 16% versus the previous six-year average — even as the facility count declined by about 3%. \nDiversity and Junior Golf Participation Are Rising\nNGF also notes that diversity in the game is at unprecedented levels. Participation among women (8.1 million) and people of color (7.7 million) has never been higher. Meanwhile\, the number of junior golfers (ages 6–17) has increased nearly 60% since 2019 — perhaps the most telling indicator of the game’s long-term health. \nThe Rise of Off-Course and Screen Golf\nOne of the most sustainable differences between this golf boom and the last may be the emergence of off-course golf experiences. Today\, approximately 38 million people engage with golf away from traditional courses through entertainment venues\, screen golf\, and practice ranges. Compare that to fewer than 6 million range users 25 years ago. \nThis expanded ecosystem will likely remain a major driver of the game’s continued growth. \nIf you look at golf’s total reach — those who play\, watch\, read about\, or follow the game — the number now exceeds 136 million Americans\, or roughly two out of every five people. That figure is astoundingly high — and promising — if you ask me. \nWhy New Golf Courses in North County Are Unlikely\nThis is where golf’s supply-and-demand dynamic becomes especially unique. With all these positive indicators — even here in San Diego County’s near-perfect golf weather — what is the likelihood of a new golf facility being built in North County? \nNot in any of our lifetimes\, in my view. \nThe reasons are many — available land and viable access to water chief among them — and the reality is unlikely to change.

DESCRIPTION:There are a lot more individuals and entities in the golf industry than you might think — a fact my inbox will attest to. While I only get a fraction of the emails others in the business receive\, I hear enough from all corners to know that many people consider the golf industry far more than just an avocation. \nOne entity whose correspondence I always review closely is the National Golf Foundation (NGF)\, which consistently keeps its proverbial finger on the pulse of the game of golf. In my daily interactions\, I often reference their data and mix in my interpretations of what it means for the past\, present\, and future of golf participation. This post is a primary example of that. \nGolf Industry Growth After 2020\nThe data and insight NGF provides are always easily digestible. They often use the year 2020 as a before-and-after analytical marker — a wise choice given golf’s natural alignment with social distancing. Before COVID (BC)\, golf had been in a roughly 20-year decline\, with the game seen as ‘stodgy’ and ‘elitist’ in certain corners. Courses were closing in many markets\, and the industry showed a general reluctance to evolve. Golf\, by nature\, is defined by stringent rules\, after all. \nThen came the pandemic\, and the tides — as you may have ascertained — have turned. \nComing off what NGF refers to as a “20-year supply correction\,” during which America saw a decline of roughly 3\,000 golf courses (2\,000 facilities)\, the U.S. has now recorded a record number of golfers in five of the past six years. Each of those years topped 500 million rounds played nationwide. \nFor context\, the U.S. remains the world’s best-supplied golf market. Our nearly 14\,000 facilities and 16\,000 courses make up approximately 42% of all golf courses on the planet. \nTiger Era vs. The Modern Golf Boom\nFor those who have been around long enough\, this surge represents the second major golf boom this century. The first followed the Tiger Woods era\, when golf’s reach suggested a lasting renaissance. Clearly\, that early-2000s momentum didn’t fully hold — but there is meaningful reason for optimism this time around. \nLooking more closely at the different eras helps frame today’s golf participation trends: \nTiger Era (2000–2005): \nRounds increased about 12% compared to the prior six-year average\, and the number of golf facilities expanded 6%. \nModern Era (2020–2025): \nRounds jumped 16% versus the previous six-year average — even as the facility count declined by about 3%. \nDiversity and Junior Golf Participation Are Rising\nNGF also notes that diversity in the game is at unprecedented levels. Participation among women (8.1 million) and people of color (7.7 million) has never been higher. Meanwhile\, the number of junior golfers (ages 6–17) has increased nearly 60% since 2019 — perhaps the most telling indicator of the game’s long-term health. \nThe Rise of Off-Course and Screen Golf\nOne of the most sustainable differences between this golf boom and the last may be the emergence of off-course golf experiences. Today\, approximately 38 million people engage with golf away from traditional courses through entertainment venues\, screen golf\, and practice ranges. Compare that to fewer than 6 million range users 25 years ago. \nThis expanded ecosystem will likely remain a major driver of the game’s continued growth. \nIf you look at golf’s total reach — those who play\, watch\, read about\, or follow the game — the number now exceeds 136 million Americans\, or roughly two out of every five people. That figure is astoundingly high — and promising — if you ask me. \nWhy New Golf Courses in North County Are Unlikely\nThis is where golf’s supply-and-demand dynamic becomes especially unique. With all these positive indicators — even here in San Diego County’s near-perfect golf weather — what is the likelihood of a new golf facility being built in North County? \nNot in any of our lifetimes\, in my view. \nThe reasons are many — available land and viable access to water chief among them — and the reality is unlikely to change. For the foreseeable future\, the courses we have are the courses we will rely on. That places the responsibility squarely on existing facilities to nurture and sustain this growing love for the game. \nThe Arrowood Approach to the Modern Golf Experience\nAt Arrowood\, we are proudly among the many facilities working to enhance the modern golf experience in San Diego. We continue taking a comprehensive approach that addresses both on- and off-course aspects of a day at the golf course. \nFrom our ongoing pursuit of improved playing conditions to expanded food\, beverage\, and entertainment offerings\, I can tell you from the inside that our pursuit of a better product is one without end. \nGolf looks different today — from the purpose to the very people themselves — but for those who play\, it remains a great unifier. A maddening\, frustrating\, beautiful unifier. \nTo all those who play\, and to those who have a say\, let’s not let that slip through our fingers again. \nGB

Clearly\, that early-2000s momentum didn’t fully hold — but there is meaningful reason for optimism this time around. \nLooking more closely at the different eras helps frame today’s golf participation trends: \nTiger Era (2000–2005): \nRounds increased about 12% compared to the prior six-year average\, and the number of golf facilities expanded 6%. \nModern Era (2020–2025): \nRounds jumped 16% versus the previous six-year average — even as the facility count declined by about 3%. \nDiversity and Junior Golf Participation Are Rising\nNGF also notes that diversity in the game is at unprecedented levels. Participation among women (8.1 million) and people of color (7.7 million) has never been higher. Meanwhile\, the number of junior golfers (ages 6–17) has increased nearly 60% since 2019 — perhaps the most telling indicator of the game’s long-term health. \nThe Rise of Off-Course and Screen Golf\nOne of the most sustainable differences between this golf boom and the last may be the emergence of off-course golf experiences. Today\, approximately 38 million people engage with golf away from traditional courses through entertainment venues\, screen golf\, and practice ranges. Compare that to fewer than 6 million range users 25 years ago. \nThis expanded ecosystem will likely remain a major driver of the game’s continued growth. \nIf you look at golf’s total reach — those who play\, watch\, read about\, or follow the game — the number now exceeds 136 million Americans\, or roughly two out of every five people. That figure is astoundingly high — and promising — if you ask me. \nWhy New Golf Courses in North County Are Unlikely\nThis is where golf’s supply-and-demand dynamic becomes especially unique. With all these positive indicators — even here in San Diego County’s near-perfect golf weather — what is the likelihood of a new golf facility being built in North County? \nNot in any of our lifetimes\, in my view. \nThe reasons are many — available land and viable access to water chief among them — and the reality is unlikely to change. For the foreseeable future\, the courses we have are the courses we will rely on. That places the responsibility squarely on existing facilities to nurture and sustain this growing love for the game. \nThe Arrowood Approach to the Modern Golf Experience\nAt Arrowood\, we are proudly among the many facilities working to enhance the modern golf experience in San Diego. We continue taking a comprehensive approach that addresses both on- and off-course aspects of a day at the golf course. \nFrom our ongoing pursuit of improved playing conditions to expanded food\, beverage\, and entertainment offerings\, I can tell you from the inside that our pursuit of a better product is one without end. \nGolf looks different today — from the purpose to the very people themselves — but for those who play\, it remains a great unifier. A maddening\, frustrating\, beautiful unifier. \nTo all those who play\, and to those who have a say\, let’s not let that slip through our fingers again. \nGB

SUMMARY:Witty Wednesdays - Trivia
DESCRIPTION:There are a lot more individuals and entities in the golf industry than you might think — a fact my inbox will attest to. While I only get a fraction of the emails others in the business receive\, I hear enough from all corners to know that many people consider the golf industry far more than just an avocation. \nOne entity whose correspondence I always review closely is the National Golf Foundation (NGF)\, which consistently keeps its proverbial finger on the pulse of the game of golf. In my daily interactions\, I often reference their data and mix in my interpretations of what it means for the past\, present\, and future of golf participation. This post is a primary example of that. \nGolf Industry Growth After 2020\nThe data and insight NGF provides are always easily digestible. They often use the year 2020 as a before-and-after analytical marker — a wise choice given golf’s natural alignment with social distancing. Before COVID (BC)\, golf had been in a roughly 20-year decline\, with the game seen as ‘stodgy’ and ‘elitist’ in certain corners. Courses were closing in many markets\, and the industry showed a general reluctance to evolve. Golf\, by nature\, is defined by stringent rules\, after all. \nThen came the pandemic\, and the tides — as you may have ascertained — have turned. \nComing off what NGF refers to as a “20-year supply correction\,” during which America saw a decline of roughly 3\,000 golf courses (2\,000 facilities)\, the U.S. has now recorded a record number of golfers in five of the past six years. Each of those years topped 500 million rounds played nationwide. \nFor context\, the U.S. remains the world’s best-supplied golf market. Our nearly 14\,000 facilities and 16\,000 courses make up approximately 42% of all golf courses on the planet. \nTiger Era vs. The Modern Golf Boom\nFor those who have been around long enough\, this surge represents the second major golf boom this century.
