Sunrise Golf reports P&L work, events calendar and cart order changes
Summary
Roger Gallatin, Sunrise Golf Pro, reviewed revenue breakdowns and operations plans, including food-and-beverage revenue at 14.35% of total, an approximate year-end bottom line near $595,000, a 17-event calendar, First Tee and junior programs, and a reduced golf-cart order from 60 to 45 with lithium battery options discussed.
Roger Gallatin delivered an operational report for Sunrise Golf Course, presenting a multi-year review and plans to improve expense tracking following recent appropriation changes. He said food-and-beverage revenue represented 14.35% of total revenue in the multi-year averages he compiled. He reported a current bottom-line target near $595,000 and said last February—s heavy snow (about a foot) drastically reduced rounds played compared with his February forecast of 461 rounds.
Gallatin described plans to expand programming: a First Tee schedule (youth development program) he will promote through First Tee of Indiana and the Indiana PGA; continued junior programming tied to the Indiana Junior Prep Tour; a Spark online league and outreach to local corporations for business leagues. He listed roughly 17 events in his calendar so far and said individual outings can produce a large share of monthly revenue.
On golf carts, Gallatin said he reduced an initial order from 60 carts to 45 and removed an elaborate GPS option to control costs. He said lithium batteries remain a preferred option despite an upcharge, and that the vendor indicated the reconfigured fleet would remain on schedule for delivery around March 17 as long as paperwork is signed. He also said trimming the fleet allowed the department to avoid a roughly $70,000 electrical-capacity project for additional charging infrastructure.
Gallatin said more detailed monthly financial reports will follow as new appropriation and payroll reporting are implemented, which will let him and staff manage labor and inventory more tightly.
