By: Representatives Jones of the 60th, Powell of the 33rd, and Carter of the 93rd
A RESOLUTION
Recognizing June 5, 2026, as "Women's Golf Day" in Georgia; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, golf education companies, club managers, teaching professionals, and amateur
golf associations in Georgia work together to promote the game of golf by enhancing access
to golf and raising public understanding and appreciation of the contribution of women to the
state's business and golf communities; and
WHEREAS, the number of women playing and enjoying golf in Georgia is increasing at a
rapid pace, and the popularity of golf among Georgia women is at an all-time high and still
climbing; and
WHEREAS, according to the National Golf Foundation, 23 percent of all golfers are women;
and
WHEREAS, as an industry, golf annually provides a major economic impact on this state,
including $5.3 billion in direct, indirect, and induced economic output; $2.7 billion in labor
income; $259 million in state and local taxes; and a combined $273 million in proceeds from
professional and charitable events; and
WHEREAS, playing golf helps family members maintain a healthy lifestyle, with benefits
including, but not limited to, burning up to 1,000 calories by walking between four and eight
miles per game, reducing stress, and lowering cholesterol; and
WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper to recognize the important contributions of
women to the sport of golf in the State of Georgia.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

A Georgia House resolution designates June 5, 2026 as 'Women's Golf Day' in the state, honoring women's growing role in golf and its economic impact on Georgia.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes June 5, 2026 as 'Women's Golf Day' in Georgia. It does not change any law; it is a ceremonial statement highlighting the growth of women's participation in golf and the sport's economic contribution to the state.
The resolution cites statistics such as women making up 23 percent of golfers nationally and golf's $5.3 billion economic impact in Georgia, including labor income and tax revenue. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and press.

- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
- Creates no new law, funding, or enforceable requirement; it is a symbolic statement by the House.

### Who it affects

This resolution mainly concerns Georgia's golf industry, including golf education companies, club managers, teaching professionals, and amateur golf associations, as well as women golfers in the state. It has no direct legal effect on other Georgians.

### Why it matters
