Charleston, South Carolina, United States: An unstable economy and unprecedented supply chain woes have many business owners re-evaluating their financial strategy for 2023 … and beyond.

What are the latest economic metrics critical to golf course operations, and which key insights are worth watching? 

At Golf Business Conference 2023, Dr John Silvia, Founder of Dynamic Economic Strategy, former Chief Economist for Wells Fargo, and once awarded ‘Top Forecaster’ by Bloomberg News and USA Today, will share his inflation outlook, highlight strategies for operating amid a looming recession, and answer the pressing questions atop the minds of golf course owners.

Dr Silvia said: “The fundamentals of real income growth, wealth consumer confidence, interest rates and thoughtful pricing consistent with the culture of the golf club, will influence consumer demand.

“The costs of landscaping and gasoline, among other costs, influence the supply-side challenges to operation. I look forward to sharing my understanding of what drives the owners’ customer base as well as the national trends on costs and inflation that influence successful operations.”

Golf Business Conference 2023 will be held from January 23-25 in Orlando, Florida, co-located with the PGA Show.

Dr Silvia’s economic keynote session will take place on January 24 at the Rosen Centre (the GBC23 host hotel).

GBC23 education sessions are eligible for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for Professional Golfers Association (PGA), Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), Club Management Association of America (CMAA), and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).
