Abstract/Contents:Discusses a program that collects golf course operational data. States that "faced with too many golf holes and too few golfers, course operators have been clamoring for data that can help them make more informed pricing and marketing decisions. The National Golf Course Owners Association organized the Financial Benchmarks Program and enlisted Golf Datatech to manage the project." Mentions that the project "is important because a credibility issue has bubbled up among the financial community with regard to golf course operations." Details the procedure of data collection and states that "the cost to participating courses is $200 the first year and $100 annually thereafter." Concludes that "it's unclear how fast Golf Datatech will be able to ramp up in new markets."
