I think that a lot will depend on when we are actually back up and close to normal. What does that mean? Pro shops open, club tournaments being played, lessons being given, etc; Here in the northeast we�ve been hit so hard it could be mid-late summer before we are at that point. If that�s the case I think the year will be a disaster for all but the strongest of clubs. Look for a new normal in 2021.
With the amount of activity clubs that have remained open have experienced, plus Pellucid’s report on increased rounds played in the first quarter of 2020, I am eagerly optimistic for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. This too shall pass.
I don’t think our facilities will open until June. I believe all areas of the golf operation must be looked at and revised.
The new normal will be nothing like we’re used too and many things such as lessons and golf outings will see a dip.
I believe golf once back in full swing will be exceptionally busy. It’s obvious we won’t be able to meet our fiscally budgeted numbers at our respective operations but I think the enthusiasm of PGA Professionals will help keep the game thriving.
Alot of unknowns. Planning several scenarios to be ready when we re up and running again. Social Distancing and Personal Safety will be paramount.
Concerned for many operators and the industry. Revenue streams will be much different.
Cautiously optimistic. As we move forward there will be many activities that will be unavailable for the foreseeable future, while golf could serve as one of the few recreational or social endeavors people may be able to pursue. From a financial standpoint, I think it is safe to say that 2020 will be an anomaly.
In Massachusetts I believe our golf season will begin with only the golf course open. No Golf Shop or Clubhouse. Obviously many new safety/sanitation protocols will be put into place. Guest events and shotgun starts may be eliminated.
Once we are open I think the golf industry will be strong. It is the ultimate social distancing sport. People will not want to travel that much this year so they will play more golf at home, but this will definitely hurt resorts.
Significant revenue loss. People are worried about jobs and money. 1 person only being able to ride in golf cars, less tee times, older age group afraid to be by other people. Shops will need to look to scale back on orders and with a condensed calendar for some states, scheduling events could be tough on outings and cart rentals. Golf companies and pros will need to work together to keep open communication and monitor orders for summer fall. The thought of going to seven days open for private clubs is a real thing and golf pros cleaning golf cars will be an every day task. Hope people continue to have the itch and find their way to golf courses.

In highly affected areas, there will be reduced Member activity as well as a severe restriction on Guest play.
