Golfers played fewer rounds nationwide in July compared with a year ago, although more people were swinging away in Colorado, according to statistics released Friday by the PGA of America.
Rounds played across the country dropped 1.5 percent last month compared with July 2011, while days in which courses were open dropped by 0.3 percent. In Colorado, rounds played increased 1.1 percent. Nationally, private clubs saw the steepest drop of 3.4 percent. Municipal courses declined 1.6 percent, and resorts were down 0.9 percent. Daily fee/semi-private courses saw the smallest drop of 0.7 percent. The PGA PerformanceTrak report noted that July had nine weekend days, which are typically busier for golf courses, compared with 10 for July 2011.
The "Performance Factor," which accounts for bad weather, was 98.8 for July, indicating that rounds played per day open were down. July's results were based on responses from 2,822 facilities.
For the year, rounds played are up 10.6 percent, and days open are up 10.9 percent.
