HR1955: HR1955 "Women's Golf Day"; June 5, 2026; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or duties. It designates June 5, 2026, as "Women's Golf Day" in Georgia, citing the growing number of women playing golf, the sport's economic impact on the state (including billions in output and hundreds of millions in taxes and charitable proceeds), and the health benefits of playing golf. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for distribution to the public and the press. It does not create any new legal requirements, funding, or penalties; it is purely a symbolic statement by the House.

• Formally recognizes June 5, 2026, as "Women's Golf Day" in Georgia through a House resolution.
• States findings about women's participation in golf and the sport's economic impact on Georgia, including $5.3 billion in output.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Creates no binding legal obligations, funding, or penalties; it is a symbolic statement rather than a change to Georgia law.

The resolution mainly affects women golfers, golf education companies, club managers, teaching professionals, and amateur golf associations in Georgia, who are named in the text as contributing to the golf industry and being honored by the designation.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution, it does not change any Georgia law, create funding, or impose requirements. Its practical effect is limited to a formal public acknowledgment of women's contributions to golf and the distribution of the resolution by the House Clerk.

• The whereas clauses cite National Golf Foundation data that 23 percent of golfers are women and describe golf's $5.3 billion economic impact on Georgia.
• The resolving clause formally designates June 5, 2026, as "Women's Golf Day" in Georgia.
• A further resolution clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and press.
