Does geography impact golf center performance

We took a look at the impact of geography on golf center performance.  As a proxy for geography, we assigned each of the golf centers in our study to a planting zone (think gardening planting zones where 4 is up north and 9 is down south).  We than took a look at hours per month per simulator to see if we noticed any trends based on geography.  For the most part, the farther north a facility, the more hours per simulator and more simulators the geography will support.   The cart below is based on average monthly hours per simulator, peak months are much higher and low months are a good bit lower.  There are some impacts from age of the indoor center here as some of the southern facilities are a bit newer and new centers tend to have a bit less traffic than established centers.
