Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Recent Accounting Standards | Recent Accounting Standards In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this ASU will remove, modify or add to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC Topic 820). The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of this ASU and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures required for public companies until the effective date of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The new standard is designed to refine and expand hedge accounting for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks. Its provisions create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes. It also makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. If early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period (i.e., the initial application date). The Company is currently evaluating this ASU; however, it does not anticipate this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," as amended by ASU 2018-11 issued in July 2018, which provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard, as well as a practical expedient for lessors on non-lease components. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged and lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, under which entities have the option to not restate the comparative periods in the period of adoption when transitioning to Topic 842, and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-02 and the transition amendments provided by ASU 2018-11, on the effective date of January 1, 2019. The Company plans to elect transition-related accounting policies under ASU 2016-02, which allow entities to not reassess, as of the adoption date, (1) any expired or existing contracts that are leases or contain leases, (2) the classification of any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company has a significant amount of operating leases that are classified as off-balance sheet commitments under the current accounting rules. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 will require the Company to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to these lease commitments, which will result in a significant increase in assets and liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company is completing its analysis of ASU 2016-02, including the transition amendments provided by ASU 2018-11, and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of New Accounting Standards On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" using the modified retrospective approach, and applied this guidance to all contracts as of the adoption date as discussed in Note 2 below. This new standard requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. In addition, it requires companies to determine the transaction price for a contract, which is the price used to recognize revenue as well as the amount of consideration companies expect to collect from its customers in exchange for the promised goods or services in the contract. Because the transaction price can vary as a result of variable consideration for items such as sales returns, discounts, rebates, price concessions and incentives, companies are required to include an estimate of variable consideration in the transaction price. The adoption of this new standard accelerated the timing of when the Company recognizes variable consideration for certain sales program incentives, which include sell-through promotions and price concessions or price reductions that it offers to its customers. As a result, the Company now estimates the variable consideration related to these sales programs at the time of the sale based on a rate that includes historical and forecasted data, as opposed to when these programs are approved and announced. Upon the adoption of Topic 606, the Company recorded a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $11,185,000, as noted in the table below, which reflects the estimated amount of variable consideration related to future sales programs for revenue recognized in prior periods. Prior period information that is presented for comparative purposes has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards that were in effect in those periods.
Balance Sheet | Balance at December 31, 2017 |  | Adjustments Due To Topic 606 |  | Balance at January 1, 2018
Accounts receivable, net | $ | 94,725 |  |  | $ | (16,156 | ) |  | $ | 78,569 |

The impact of adopting the new revenue standard on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 was as follows:
| September 30, 2018

On January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2018-02 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which provides financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate resulting from the Tax Act (or portion thereof) resulted in a disproportionate tax effect. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this policy using the specific identification method, and the adoption of this policy did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-16 “Intra-Entity Asset Transfer of Assets other than Inventory,” which eliminates the requirement to defer the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers until they are disposed or sold to a third party. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-04, "Liabilities—Extinguishment of Liabilities (Subtopic 405-20): Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products," which clarifies when it is acceptable to recognize the unredeemed portion of prepaid gift cards into income. The adoption of this ASU did not change the Company's accounting for gift cards, and therefore did not impact the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $982,000 of deferred revenue related to unredeemed gift cards. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendment requires (i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). This amendment eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an investment in Topgolf International, Inc., doing business as the Topgolf Entertainment Group ("Topgolf") of $70,777,000, consisting of common stock and various classes of preferred stock. Because Topgolf is a privately held company, the Company's investment in Topgolf is accounted for at cost less impairments, if any, as this investment is without a readily determinable fair value. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, if there is an observable price change as a result of an orderly transaction for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer, the Company would be required to assess the fair value impact, if any, on each identified or similar class of Topgolf stock held by the Company, and write such stock up or down to its estimated fair value. If there are any observable price changes related to this investment, the adjustment to measure this investment at fair value could have a significant effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the shares that were purchased from other Topgolf shareholders were not acquired in orderly transactions as these transactions were not exposed to the market and were not subject to marketing activities. As such, at September 30, 2018, the Company accounted for its investment in Topgolf at cost less impairments in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01 (see Note 9).
Revenue Recognition, Policy | Product Sales The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when it satisfies the terms of a sales order from a customer, and transfers control of the products ordered to the customer. Control transfers at a point in time when products are shipped, and in certain cases, when products are received by customers. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale on transactions with consumers at its retail locations. Sales taxes, value added taxes and other taxes that are collected in connection with revenue transactions are withheld and remitted to the respective taxing authorities. As such, these taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Therefore, shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers are recognized in revenue and the associated shipping and handling costs are recognized in cost of goods sold as soon as the customer obtains control of the goods. Royalty Income Royalty income is recognized over time in net sales as underlying product sales occur, subject to certain minimum royalties, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements and is included in the Company's Gear, Accessories and Other operating segment. Total royalty income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $4,857,000 and $4,053,000, respectively. Total royalty income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $14,451,000 and $13,937,000, respectively. Gift Cards Revenues from gift cards are deferred and recognized when the cards are redeemed. The Company’s gift cards have no expiration date. The Company recognizes revenue from unredeemed gift cards, otherwise known as breakage, when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote and under circumstances that comply with any applicable state escheatment laws. To determine when redemption is remote, the Company analyzes an aging of unredeemed cards (based on the date the card was last used or the activation date if the card has never been used) and compares that information with historical redemption trends. The Company uses this historical redemption rate to recognize breakage on unredeemed gift cards over the redemption period. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to determine the timing of recognition of gift card revenues.
Credit Losses | The Company's trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for estimated credit losses, as well as reserves related to product returns and sales programs as described above.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts | The estimate of credit losses is based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations.

- Definition Disclosure of accounting policy for revenue recognition. If the entity has different policies for different types of revenue transactions, the policy for each material type of transaction is generally disclosed. If a sales transaction has multiple element arrangements (for example, delivery of multiple products, services or the rights to use assets) the disclosure may indicate the accounting policy for each unit of accounting as well as how units of accounting are determined and valued. The disclosure may encompass important judgment as to appropriateness of principles related to recognition of revenue. The disclosure also may indicate the entity's treatment of any unearned or deferred revenue that arises from the transaction. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/otherTransitionRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 2: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/otherTransitionRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18726-107790 Reference 3: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/otherTransitionRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 4 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=84158767&loc=d3e18823-107790 + Details
