FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MORE THAN 29,000 SUBSCRIBERS
FLOCK TO ONCOURSE LIVING
DOVER, N.H. (January 29, 2004) – The only newsletter dedicated solely to the golf real estate market, OnCourse Living, has developed a subscriber base of more than 29,000 after only nine weekly issues.
“Frankly, we’re not surprised, and not simply because a subscription is free,” said Publisher Ron Crowley. “OnCourse Living provides a valuable service, allowing golf communities, developers, and builders to do something they had found difficult: place their information directly before grassroots real estate agents, editors and other journalists, architects, investors, as well as everyday people interested in this immense, and immensely popular, segment of the real estate market.”
In recent years, the National Golf Foundation in America reported that the number of residential golf communities had risen 72 percent during the past decade to 2,386 and the number of developments that combine a residential community with a resort hotel had more than doubled to 273. That explosion in golf-related developments established a record of $75 billion in new golf properties, according to Golf Digest magazine.
Although about 90 percent of subscribers are real estate brokers and agents, Crowley said that “OnCourse Living also reaches influential editors and journalists—both print and electronic—who are then able to keep their readers apprised. OnCourse Living is primarily a business-to-business tool for agents, journalists, builders, community administrators, investors, finance people, and public relations personnel. Nevertheless, private individuals are encouraged to use the newsletter in order to be a more savvy homebuyer.”
OnCourse Living maintains an extensive archive of past issues, including features on golf communities, online at www.oncourseliving.com.
