 Adel, GA – September 23, 2025 – Hilda W. Allen     Real Estate, Inc. (HWA), a nationally recognized brokerage specializing in     golf courses, marinas, campgrounds, and specialty real estate, proudly     announces the addition of Allen DePuy, a seasoned golf broker, consultant, and manager, as its new Lead Golf Advisor.

 Whether temporarily or otherwise, golf has captured the global zeitgeist. So, what are the notable differences when it comes to golfers in the current era? For one, the number of golfers who place themselves on the highest level of NGF’s ‘passion scale’ has grown nearly 20% since the pandemic. 

 When it comes to indicators of golf’s sustained play levels -- at least nationally -- consider this: all 26 peak-season months dating back to 2020 have seen rounds trend at least 10% higher than recent pre-Covid comparisons. And based on mid-year play data, it’s quite possible 2025 could hit record levels yet again.
