The National Golf Day (NGD) event in Washington, D.C. will be held May 8-10. The American Golf Industry Coalition, a group of the game’s leading associations and industry partners including the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), hosts the annual event.
Industry leaders meet with members of Congress, the executive branch and federal agencies to discuss golf’s 15,000-plus diverse businesses, 2 million jobs impacted, tax revenue creation and tourism value.
NGD celebrates the game’s $101.7 billion economy, nearly $6 billion annual charitable impact and many environmental and fitness benefits.
Attendees will have a chance to participate in two community service projects from 7-10 a.m. on Friday, May 10. The projects include:
- A turf project on the National Mall near the Thomas Jefferson Memorial and FDR baseball fields.
- A clubhouse landscaping project at Langston Golf Course, an 18-hole course named after John Mercer Langston, the first African American elected into public office.
Congressional meeting prep is provided online and in person in advance of NGD on May 8.
