Golf's Sweet Spot is Generation G: The Most Vital Age Group for the Golf Industry

Are you familiar with Generation G?  If you work in the golf business, you should be. 

 

Some in the golf industry look at the wave of retiring Baby Boomers as an economic windfall, while others expect a sharp falloff in business after they're gone.  Millennials have garnered plenty of attention too, and many of the industry's development programs are focused on juniors.  But the real sweet spot for golf businesses?  That's the Golf Generation, or Gen G. 

National Golf Foundation Reports More than 7.5 Million U.S. Golfers Bought at Least One New Club Last Year: How Old Are Your Golf Clubs?

And the National Golf Foundation reported that almost one-third of the approximately 24 million U.S. golfers bought at least one brand new club in the past year. 

The oldest average club(s) in a golfer's bag are their irons (5 years), followed by their putter (4.5 years), and then driver (4 years).  Did you buy a new club in the past year?  And what's the oldest club(s) in your bag?

Golf Datatech Reports August 2019 Rounds of Golf Played Up Compared to Last Year

The National Golf Foundation and Datatech Golf have reported that rounds of golf for August 2019 were up 3.5-percent compared to the same period last year, although the increase is attributable at least in part to more favorable weather conditions than a year ago. 

 

While the August increase brought the year-to-date rounds-played total up, it's now flat compared to the first three quarters of 2018, which overall was a down year.  The total rounds-played number dipped to 434 million last year after hovering around 460 million the previous five years, a decline caused in part by the third-wettest year for the continental U.S. dating back to 1895.
