HR 448: Women's Golf Week in the State of Georgia; first week of April of each year; recognize

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a ceremonial statement from the House of Representatives designating the first week of April each year as Women's Golf Week in Georgia. The resolution cites data from the National Golf Foundation showing that 23 percent of all golfers are women and notes that women's participation in golf in Georgia is growing quickly. The resolution asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing the week and to encourage Georgians to mark it with appropriate programs and activities. It also directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to Governor Brian Kemp and to the public and press.
