At the national level, February's Golf Playable Hours (GPH) were off 1.8% compared to the same period last year. Following January's increase in GPH of just under 3%, the February dip brings the year-to-date weather impact back to neutral (+0.3%), according to Pellucid Weather Impact.


The results showed six regions with GPH gains for the year of 2% or more opposed by six regions with GPH decreases of 2% or more (leaving the remaining six “open” regions in neutral territory and 27 regions not open for business yet). This suggests that the opening two months of the year at a national level in GPH and regional breadth are “steady as she goes.”
