A RESOLUTION

Recognizing March 19, 2026, as Golf Day; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, golf is an extremely popular sport in the State of Georgia, and each year both national and international media turn to the Peach State for two of the most iconic golf events in the world: the Masters Tournament and the TOUR Championship; 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, in 2022, Georgia's golf wholesale and retail businesses added $1.1 billion and $176 million respectively, highlighted by contributions from Bridgestone, PGA TOUR Superstores, and golf cart manufacturers; and

WHEREAS, our state's golf courses and entertainment venues employ thousands of individuals and serve as local economic drivers, supporting more than 24,000 jobs and providing $1.8 billion to the economy; and

WHEREAS, as the game of golf drives significant economic activity in this state and is enjoyed by many, it is abundantly fitting and proper that it be appropriately honored.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize March 19, 2026, as Golf Day in honor of the sport's immensely positive economic impact on this state and encourage all citizens to enjoy it for themselves as a player, spectator, or both.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the public and the press.
