Regular DailyWealth readers know we like to follow certain sectors for insight into the strength of the economy.

Tracking recreational spending can tell us if consumer confidence is high – like when luxury sport companies are raking in profits…

For example, look at Callaway Golf (ELY).

The $1.6 billion company is the largest manufacturer of golf clubs in the world…

And it’s the No. 1 club brand in the U.S.

As you can see, shares of ELY have risen nearly 50% over the past year. They recently hit a new multiyear high. The company’s climb is a reassuring sign for the economy. After all, if dad has the cash for golf clubs and green fees, things can’t be all that bad today…
