We weren't given exact figures but the increased numbers in green fee players more than made up for the loss of tournament's. They buy balls and tees from the pro shop and food and alcohol on the course or in the clubhouse.
Quite often the course has been empty in the afternoons from around 1 to 4pm in years past but that changed this past summer. The daily tee sheets were over 90% full each day with golfers being turned away because they couldn't get the times they wanted.
