PREFACE

COVID-19 AND PRIVATE CLUBS¡ª

THE FACTS

Welcome to our 2021-22 report. We compiled the information

from our audits of more than 200 clubs with year-ends through

Dec. 31, 2020. We hope the story told by this data is never to be

repeated; however, the results achieved by the clubs we work

with are a testament to the fortitude, skill and hard work of

leadership, management and staff.

A few things to note as you review the report:

? All government support has been removed from

?

?

operating data presented in the main section of the

report since not all clubs were deemed equal in the eyes

of Uncle Sam, in terms of the various fiscal aid programs

offered.

The COVID-19 impact section allows the reader

to identify what happened, by region, and as clubs

responded to the pandemic in 2020. Given the timing

of various government shut downs, and re-openings,

this section displays certain key operating data by fiscal

quarter.

As in prior years, the report also includes key

information based on a club¡¯s revenue levels.

Comments and questions on this publication and any aspect of

club financial management are welcome.

Thank you to our professionals for their continued dedication to

this industry, and thank you to the hundreds of clubs served by

RSM for their continued support and allowing our firm to have a

role in their mission to create a meaningful experience for their

members.
