In the above, we track the monthly and quarterly timeseries view of weather impact (measured by Golf Playable Hours or GPH) so
our readers can see how the year is playing out at the national level. Again, if you want the 45 regional, the 61 markets or individual
facility-specific figures, you can get those by subscribing either to the Pellucid Publications Membership program, the Geographical
Weather Impact reports or Cognilogic (individual facility down to daily level).
The above graphic shows the flat November GPH results (we've already seen the preview of November rounds from our Golf
Market Research Center Charter Members but we won't spoil it for you; if you were a subscriber you'd already know them as well).
The November result kept the YtD figure at dead neutral. If you want a look into our weather forecasting " crystal ball " for our '21
year-end " call " at the national level you can get that by subscribing to our Geographic Weather Impact tracking. For individual
facilities, you can get our web-based, facility-specific weather forecast service for the next 60 days by subscribing to Cognilogic
Foresight.

The above graphic represents a timeseries by month of Utilization change which we're sure that by now you all know is the resultant
of Played Rounds (demand) divided by Available Rounds (capacity). We compare each month back to the static prior Year End
figure (59%) to determine if we improved or lost utilization in the current month.
Not unexpectedly, we're on a run, likely for the balance of the year, of Utilization declines as we run into the tough H2 rounds
demand comps and the weather cares not about those comps or COVID. Jim's last month prediction for October that we'd likely
see a 3-6 point decline got the direction and range right; chalk that up to equal parts luck and having a preview of the demand
figures. The November call is a toss-up given the flat weather we already know but Jim's going to go with another decline anticipating
a rounds deficit against that flat weather. Our GMRC Charter Members have already seen the roll-up of the portfolio for
November including their numbers; you too could be in-the-know by inquiring here).
