What’s in Your Wallet?

photo credit: B Rosen With the global recession getting worse, it's time for a reality check for golf courses. Consumer spending is down in every area of the economy. Some courses have been forced to cut their days of operation and, worse yet, many have already filed for bankruptcy. Yet, it seems that course management is still operating with their heads tucked into the sand!
When the cost of a Coke, at the course, is $4 (cost – 50 cents), and a hot dog $7 (cost - 50 cents), it's time for consumers to start complaining. Let me be clear, I don't begrudge profits but it's become obscene. If courses want to generate more play and stay out of bankruptcy, they need to start making it more economical for the average Joe to play golf. Think about it?
