I basically agree.......but, the above give no consideration to another 2 month shut down. And I think that is VERY likely.
Also a good point that no one (myself included) has brought up yet.
If we shut down again though, it probably won't be til January. That's about as dead season as disc golf gets. If we shut down in the winter, things will probably open back up come Spring (warm weather + vaccines rolling out + cabin fever). The only big tournament I can think of that takes place in winter is the Vegas open. So even if that gets cancelled/postponed, we still have 9-10 months of disc golf to look forward to in 2021 (maybe more like 7-8 mos cuz the season sort of ends after Oct).
Do you think sales will still be through the roof during winter months when people aren't playing as much? I'm in CO, and we have lots of sunny days in the winter, but if there's snow on the ground, it takes a lot to motivate me to go to the course. Maybe a lull in sales in the winter can naturally give the mfgs time to recoup their stock and retool their supply chain. Of course, maybe sales won't lull at all and it'll continue to be a cluster, but even when we aren't shutting down, commerce slows after Christmas.
