According to Pellucid’s weather impact report, the numbers for April were quite encouraging, with April’s Golf Playable Hours (GPH) up 20% for the Total US vs. April 2009. That completely erased the weather deficit caused by unfavorable January and February months with the Year-to-Date (YtD) GPH figure now reading + 6% through April.
The announcement included a quote from Pellucid President Jim Koppenhaver, “The great news is that many of the northern climes are off to a fantastic start with solid April weather that appears, at least among our client courses, to have driven rounds which were well over their April plans (again proving Stuart Lindsay’s “Golfers are more like bears than squirrels” theory)
