How to Celebrate National Golf Day

Nowadays it seems like there are always new holidays to be celebrated…we’re looking at you national donut day!  Today, however, the celebration revolves around one of our favorite sports.  Happy National Golf Day everyone!

If you’re wondering why today of all days is National Golf Day, it comes from a now decade-old practice that involves members of Congress.  Each year, Billy Hurley III and golf industry leaders form a coalition known as WE ARE GOLF meet with government officials to discuss the economic and overall impact of the game on the country.  This has made room for more celebrations over the years, however.

In honor of the year’s day to celebrate golf, there are many ways that you can share in the festivities.  If you have been looking to upgrade some of your equipment, what better day than today, as many top golf equipment brands are celebrating by having sales.  For example, TaylorMade and Adidas are offering a 30% off sale on most equipment and include free shipping.  Ashworth Golf is taking it even further, with a 40% sale on all items.

There is also an option to help improve your game through a free lesson.  This year, Hurley and WE ARE GOLF have partnered with Topgolf to offer free lessons at a number of their facilities across the country.  “We are proud to celebrate the game on National Golf Day by offering our guests a free and easy way to improve their swing,” said Erik Anderson, CEO of Topgolf.
