State By State

State Golf Days serve as an ideal platform to announce the results of recent economic impact studies as well as educate lawmakers in your state about the game’s contributions to society. Across the U.S., golf federations and associations are encouraged to work with WE ARE GOLF to host an annual event at your state’s capitol.
