For the year golf revenues are now up 6.36% from last year. The increase, despite a tough golf market and local economy, is primarily the result of two factors. 1) The dramatic improvement in the golf course. It has consistently been in better condition than it has the past 8 years. 2) A variety of successful marketing programs that include lower rates, an increase in the Massillon resident discount, new membership programs, the new Legends card and the recently introduced Corporate Card. Marketing: Our fall marketing efforts are being directed toward rebuilding our business in 2007. For the first time in a long while we have a solid year of improved conditions that should assist these efforts. We are focusing on growing the following segments of our business: 1. Leagues; 2. Outings; 3. Hotel packages; 4. Corporate play. Golf Course: Aerification of all greens was successfully completed on September 25,26 & 27/06. Fairway aerification will begin October 16th. The golf course is in very good condition and the complete aerification and fertilization of the turf areas should prepare the course for another good season next year. Weather experts are predicting a mild fall and winter and we are hoping this proves accurate.

GOLF COURSE: Golf Revenue/Rounds: According to figures from the auditors, golf revenue was $125,390.00 compared to $132,966.00 same time last year, a decrease of 5.72%. Year to date revenues are still ahead of last year at $639,052, an increase of 5%. Actual figures for any calendar period usually vary to some degree due to cut-off dates and the timing of accounts receivables. Rounds and revenue were actually up from last year despite a prolonged period of wet weather early in the month. Our POS figures for Aug 1-31 show rounds up 21% and revenues up 12%. For the year, total 18-hole rounds played are 31,036 marking an increase of 9.8% while revenues are up 5% as previously states. The primary reason rounds are up so dramatically is the increased play from our growing member base. Member play this year has increased 45% and member revenue has grown $65,114.00. Unfortunately, the major share of member revenue is only generated at one time in the fall. Marketing: Our primary goal this year was to get as many golfers as possible to play The Legends. We knew our golf course would be greatly improved and most importantly, be a consistently good golf course for the first time in years. The first step in rebuilding our reputation was to get golfers back to the course. This would be challenging , however, due to the lack of any substantial marketing budget. As a result, we attacked the local market by increasing the Massillon discount, initiating a frequent play card, promoting memberships and offering very aggressive pricing especially for Seniors. This past month we launched our new Corporate Card by mailing over 4,000 complimentary cards to local businesses. To date over 200 businesses have validated cards that are valid through 2007 and we are confident this will have a major impact moving forward. To maximize our success, however, we must now be more successful in the higher revenue segments of the market: outings, hotel packages, leagues and secondary market golfers. We will focus on these areas this fall and winter and have already initiated programs to make this happen. Golf Course: Fall is a busy time for our maintenance staff. We will begin aerifying tees after Labor Day. The greens will be aerified the week of September 25th at the same time we changeover to fall rates. Fairways and roughs will be done in October. Our irrigation system has suffered numerous breakdowns this summer that has posed a major challenge for our staff. They have done a superb job coping with the situation and have consistently kept the golf course in very good shape. Operations: Jim Murphy has accepted a position as Golf Professional at Zoar Golf Course. He did a fine job as assistant golf professional and will continue to work one day per week at least through October.
