Our nationally acclaimed Consumer Optimism Barometer continues to track consumer attitudes and behavior in a Post Pandemic, yet still divided nation.  March was unfortunately, the month where gloomy consumer sentiment began to catch up with leisure spending.  The March Barometer also took a look at consumer sentiment regarding the state of higher education and electric vehicles.

SLRG President Jon Last joined University of San Francisco Professor Steve Kraus and Question Pro’s Dan Fleetwood for an informative webinar that unpacked evolving consumer attitudes and behaviors and their implications for leisure marketers in the year ahead.   You can watch a replay of the presentation above, or download the deck below.

Our annual Trends presentation was incorporated into the NGCOA Golf Business Conference  at the PGA Merchandise Show on Tuesday, January 24th and included brand new golfer and U.S. consumer research, as well as from the NGCOA’s Business Pulse Report.   As always, we’ll look at the consumer mindset and state of the golf business for 2023 with a focus on equipment, facility operations, travel and participation. Results were derived from surveys and in depth interviews with active golfers and facility operators as well as numerous additional golfer research conducted by SLRG over the past twelve months.
