Daylight saving time may be outside the political agenda in Queensland, but it can be a hole-in-one for the wave industry.
Mike Orloff has written a compelling opinion piece on Golf industry Central That sheds light on a long -term debate: does Queensland have to take daylight saving time (DST)? And more specifically, would it be good for golf?
From a golf perspective, the answer seems like a no-brainer. Orloff states that the extra daylight can be a game changer for participation and income, especially for clubs in Southeast Queensland. Building on international examples and personal experience, he makes a strong thing that more sunlight is equal to more fluctuations – and more dollars.
What is striking is the lack of local data to support or refute the argument, and notes that many clubs in Australia already offer “daylight -saving rates” to encourage late afternoon rounds, which suggests that there is a clear demand for more golf after work.
“I could not get official comments from Golf Queensland, Golf Victoria or Golf Australia, especially because there is no research available. For me this seems very valuable research to be carried out, and that will soon be!
Many clubs in Australia benefit from the time switch every year and offer memberships of discounts or cheaper ‘daylight -saving rates’ in the afternoon, indicating a demand in the market for later rounds. “
It is a thinking reading, especially for those of us who have rushed to finish 18 holes before the sun dives under the horizon.
