🍻🏴 Looking forward to the England game? Bellingham brace pending?   The British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) is forecasting an extra 20 million pints to be sold during the tournament, adding a whopping £93 million to the sector. But there's a trend taking over, I call to call it the "Boxpark Effect."   Every time England scores, the BBPA says between 15-20% of drinkers pints are launched into the air or split in celebration. 🕺   If 18.5 million people are watching the game (although roughly 15% of the UK don't drink) and an average of 17.5% spill/throw their pint, that's about 2.75 million pints lost each time England score. 🥃   With the average pint costing £5.45 (Lumina Intelligence menu tracker), that's about £15 million flying high with every goal! 💸   So next time you're cheering for England, maybe keep a tighter grip on your pint – or just consider it your patriotic duty to "donate" to the atmosphere! 🍻⚽️ #Euros2024 #PubEconomics

New PGA of America financials are out. Why did the PGA of America sell Valhalla? The word is they had to sell to stay solvent? Maybe some of my friends know the truth. No other club employees or club industry professional associations spend money to grow the game. Why does the PGA of America use PGA Members money to conduct programs while no other professional club association does? Is it to feed PGA of America Officials, Administrators, and Staff? Let the USGA, PGA Tour, Golf Course Owners Association and local amateur bodies use their funds to grow the game. Give the PGA of America money to PGA Members directly to either use to grow the game in their local community (build their standing in their community) or figure out a way to just give PGA Members the money. Stop wasting it on PGA of America Officials, Administrators and Staff. I'm told the top 10 PGA of America Administrators cost the PGA Members 9.8 million dollars a year. Half of that would be a nice chunk of change to give to PGA Members.

Are raffles flexible? Depends who you raffle with... Football Ontario uses their "In Support Of" drop-down in a traditional way (and they raised over $200,000 last year, so, it works.) This year, though... They got a little creative. They added an option to their 60+ teams and clubs you can "support" through your ticket purchase — "Football Ontario Scholarship Fund". Now, when someone plays their luck in support of Football Ontario but doesn't have a specific team connection, there's an option to attribute their purchase to scholarships and sports accessibility programs. A very easy customization that can make a major impact on ticket sales and player engagement. (Click through if you want to see the drop-down selections for yourself. 👀)
