Fall Rounds Up, Overall Play Numbers Weak

In GolfDigest Styx, Mike Stachura reported PerformanceTrak's rounds played from the fall and the number was up 4.2 percent.

However, this was not so hot:

Only eight states -- Maine, Florida, Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho and Hawaii -- are showing year-to-date rounds-played increases for 2013. Nationwide, the year-to-date figure for rounds played is the lowest since PerformanceTrak began its survey eight years ago.
