A total of 2,600 golf facilities provided January 09 data by the reporting date. At the nationwide level, January 2009 rounds were up 7.7% and days open were nearly flat at -0.6% when compared to January 2008. Even though January represents a low total rounds played volume as a percent of total calendar year rounds played, a 7.7% increase is very good compared to current results from many other industries.

The January 2009 PerformanceTrak report is now available for viewing. PGA PerformanceTrak in Cooperation with NGCOA is the largest single source of rounds played data in the industry. Primary contributors of this monthly data are PGA Professionals.
