We love Bowden's Market Barometer, and not only because the comprehensive golf industry follower gives us a shout out every once in a while, but also because we learn something every time the bi-monthly digital issue arrives in our inbox.
Bowden's editor Judith Shè actually threw two bouquets our way in her latest issue. She called your editor a "golf communities guru" -– I'm still blushing –- in announcing our new Golf Homes for Sale section and its links to the full listings of properties for sale in some of the Southeast's premier golf communities. And she also referred to a recent "Rant" I published in defense of golf and its future. (I'm still waiting for it to go viral, hint hint). That opinion piece was first published in our own monthly newsletter, Home On The Course, and later reprinted here.
Those with a casual interest in the golf industry, golf real estate, golf resorts and golf marketing should consider a subscription to Bowden's Market Barometer. Here are just a few of the topics covered by the issue that was published earlier this week:
• A comprehensive overview of the "Healthiest Housing Market in Years."
• A forecast for the second-home market with an in-depth look at sports tourism and its effect on the vacation real estate market and the "fractional," or shared-ownership, industry.
• A five-page detailed market overview of the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach that is as comprehensive as you will find anywhere.
• Updates on new golf courses and resorts; multiple initiatives to "grow" the game of golf, especially in the junior age group; updates on golf communities (some things we learned about in reading the publication); and enough other good material to fill 27 informative pages.
Don't take my word for how insightful and provocative Bowden's Market Barometer is; just send me a note and ask for a copy of this latest issue. I'll email it to you right away (well, at least if it is not the middle of the night). I'll even sign you up for our own Home On The Course free monthly newsletter. (Please make note if you do not want to subscribe.)
Thanks.....Larry Gavrich, Founder & Editor, Home On the Course
