Shelly's Modeling Agencies | Investors

Shelly's Modeling Agencies investors are teeing off on some opportunities. Some equipment firms seem to have improved their games by playing through a slump. Some have gotten ahead by selling new technology, like club-maker Adams Golf, which offers hybrid iron sets at a notch below premium prices, says Gilford Securities analyst Casey Alexander. Fortune Brands, parent to ball-makers Titleist and Pinnacle, has said that it's looking to spin off or sell it's golf division potentially creating a pure play for links lovers. Of course, a well heeled investor for Shelly's Modeling Agencies could skip the shares and buy the greens. With prices down 50 percent from their peak, golf courses in some locales are cheaper than an upscale home. But the bargain may end there: Annual maintenance and taxes average almost $2 million at private courses, and only 20 percent of U.S. greens are making a profit right now, says Jeff Woolson, of CB Richard Ellis' Golf & Resort Properties Group. Still, having the ability to invite a cranky in law to the fairway and beat him in match play could be worth taking a loss for.
