Increasing Golf Rounds = Increasing Course Construction and Renovation
Roughly one in seven Americans played golf in 2022, resulting in $101.7 billion in direct economic impact, an increase of 20% from the $84.1 billion in economic impact in 2016, according to a study released by the American Golf Industry Coalition.
As rounds are on the rise, so is new golf construction and renovations. More courses are renovating, and new courses are being built. Bunkers on many recent projects have gotten bigger and more plentiful, reversing a trend prior to 2020.
Demand for our premium Pro/Angle® Bunker Sand is higher than ever and we’ve taken steps to ensure that Pro/Angle is available for projects around the country and Canada.
Starting with our raw materials, we altered our mine plan to ensure that the resources being removed from the deposit fulfill our production needs. It’s important to operate a balanced mine ensuring that all of the resources removed from the ground are utilized, we don’t mine what we don’t need.
Investments in our processing equipment have resulted in not only more output, but better output. Our upgraded primary plant gets us more of what we need, when we need it and at a higher quality.
Redundant systems have been installed at the Pro/Angle plant enabling us to maximize our run time yielding increases in the number of Pro/Angle tons produced per hour. Scheduled maintenance can now be performed without stopping production, more hours running = more tons of Pro/Angle.
People power! Upgraded and redundant systems don’t run on their own, we’ve increased our investment in people by hiring more hardworking operators and support staff while increasing the number of plant hours.
It’s been a busy summer…July and August were record months for Pro/Angle shipments. Our investments in people and processes have paid off! After shattering our previous sales records, our shelves remain full, the goal we set out to accomplish.
Pro/Angle is the premier bunker sand utilized on the finest golf courses in the US and Canada, give Pro/Angle a try today!
