Rounds Up In Michigan

The Detroit Business Journal reports that rounds played in metro Detroit are up 15% so far this year.

“Given the affordability of public golf at area golf courses and improved weather conditions over 2014, it’s an encouraging trend to see consumers in the Detroit market and nationwide teeing-it-up more often this year and purchasing golf merchandise and food and beverages at golf facilities,” says Paul Metzler, senior director of global and corporate insights for The PGA of America.

It’s a good sign.
